I have been on my low dose lutera for 4
months now. The first 2 months everthing
was perfect! Last month I missed one pill
and spotted for 8 days. I had 3 active
pills left at that time. When I started
my new pack everything was fine. The dr
told me most likely it was because I
missed that pill.
This month I havent missed one or even
been late. I have 2 active pills left, I
had intercourse last night(used a condom)
and today I have noticed pink again.....I
do not understand this! Why would
breakthrough bleeding start after 4
months? I usually dont get my period
untill the 3rd inactive day please
help!!!!

From what you said, though, your 'usual'
was only for 2 months. Breakthrough
bleeding is very common on birth control
and can last a few months. It didn't just
start, it started last month when you
missed your pill.
It can take a few months for your birth
control to regulate your hormones. It is
important to take your pills at the same
time every day as directed so your body
can adjust.
Spotting after sex can be from an
irritated cervix and is also completely
normal. This may be what you have right
now, a little cervical irritation.
Good luck!

that is quite normal. People mostly come
here looking for answers, not to offer
help, i'm sorry to say.
I hope you started your period eventually
and things went alright. Here is hoping
for a spot free month!

Ingi - i've had spotting during
intercourse on and off for a while. It
seems to only happen with certain bcp's
and only the week before my period. What
do you think this is due to?
