Spotting...what Does It Mean?
Posted: 08-14-05 15:53pm

I have been on ortho tricyclen lo for about 4 months now and all of a sudden yesterday I started spotting but with a little bit of actual blood. What does that mean? I havent had sex all montha nd I shouldnt start my period for at least another week. Should I be worried?

Spotting is very common when taking bcp. Also refered to as breakthrough bleeding. But you could be pregnant..Maybe it's implantation bleeding. If you don't get a normal period you should take a preg test.

You may be pregnant I was spotting also but at first I started bleeding then I started spotting and after a few days it stopped and I took a test and I found out I was pregnant?
