Strange Spotting/light Bleeding
Posted: 07-18-05 20:56pm

Hey...I really need some advice!

I've been bleeding really lightly for about 3 days now, *i'm on bc* and tonight i'll be on my 2nd sugar pill...So my actual period should be starting tomorrow.

I was just wondering if this spotting is normal...It's really starting to worry me and i'm wondering if it's an early sign of pregnancy. I mean, it could just have been my period starting early but i'm not sure.

I did miss a pill on the early part of my cycle and i've had unprotected sex 3 times since then...Can someone reassure me with what might be going on? I'm so confused...

Thanks...
Liz

I don't think it's a sign on pregnancy; i'm fairly sure i've never heard of spotting as a symptom. Go the old cliche: if you're not sure get a pregnancy test :) but if your period starts, then I thtnk you're fine.

Hi. Sorry to say but spotting can be an early sign of pregnancy. I think you should be fine however, since you only missed one pill. If your period is a no show, and I mean like its been a week and still nothing, take a test to ease your mind. Also keep in mind that stress can delay your period. This might reassure you however, light bleeding can be caused by a little rough sex, irritating your cervix, especially if you didnt use lubricant. Hope this helps!
