Bc Pills Over 1yr And Now Have Breakthrough Bleeding? Posted: 03-30-06 12:47pm


I have been on the same bc pills for 15mths now. I have not missed a pill and take them the same time every night. (i had twins my first pregnancy so we want the next one to be planned) I have 7 more active pills in the pack and today I started light spotting with a brownish color and a little bit of cramping. I normally dont start until the first day of the "sugar" pills. (thats still 7days away) so could I be pregnant?? I havent said anything to my husband yet but if I have been on bc for this long with no problems should I be worried....Someone please respond. Thank you :(

I was on b/c for over 14 months and then got breaktrough bleeding for 2 months...--i think my body was just getting fed up with the same ol pills because the next month I chnage b/c and it was all fine again..So ya, it could go either way--women do get pregnant on b/c so its possible but not deffinate...Just try and take it easy and see if your period comes..Then worry about pregnancy.....

I've been on the pill for almost 11 months, and my period sometimes comes almost a week before i'm supposed to get it. It drives me crazy, thinking the pill is ineffective and i'm pregnant, but i've been told that as long as you take the pill continuously, your rate of pregnancy is extremely low. You might spot for this week and get a regular flow around the time of your sugar pills. Don't stress too much. :)

I had the same problem! After being on a brand of pills for about a year, I started having breakthrough bleeding. My doctor would switch pill brands, and it would stop till a year later. This happened on ortho tri cyclen, nordette, and desogen. So no, I do not believe you are pregnant :o)
