Why do you spot everyday on birth control?
I'am on the depot and i have noticed that i have been spotting for the last 2 weeks why?
What should I do I've been spotting for 6 weeks after quitting birth control two months ago?
your body was used to that birth control. It is just trying to re-adjust itself.
How do you know if your birth control is not right for you?
If you have been on birth control for more than 3 months and are still having symptoms like spotting, your birth control might not be strong enough for you. See your gyno, you might not be protected you will know if you are having symptons that are unusal.
You have been using the extended NuvaRing skip-period-regimen for almost 9 weeks now but you have started bleeding a bit just wondering if the birth control is still as effective if you are spotting?
Spotting while skipping periods with birth control is a common complaint. It is not a sign that the method is less effective.
Is a second method of birth control such as condoms necessary while on my period or the white placebo pills if taking birth control?
It depends , reading below you will find your answer.How long have you been taking your birth control pills? If you have only been on birth control for less than 2 months, you may still be at risk of pregnancy while having unprotected intercourse during the week of the placebo pills.Do you properly take your birth control? If you properly take your birth control ;meaning that you take the pills every day at the same time each day, you are 99.9% protected from pregnancy. If you do not properly take the pills as directed you may increase your chances of becoming pregnant.Do you have spotting or breakthrough bleeding? If you do experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding, this can mean that you need a different dosage, typically a higher strength of birth control pills. This also means that the dosage you are currently are taking is not effective enough to prevent you from pregnancy. If you have experienced spotting or breakthrough bleeding for more than 3 months, you should see your physician to get the correct pills for you.Have you taken medication, such as antibiotics?If you have been taking antibiotics such as penicillin the effectiveness of your birth control will decrease. This also means that it would not be safe to have unprotected intercourse.If you have been taking birth control for more than 2 months, have properly been taking your birth control, have not experienced spotting or breakthrough bleeding as side effects and have not been taking antibiotics, you do not necessarily have to use a back up method, because you will still be protected from pregnancy during your placebo week.
What could be a reason why I've been spotting for two weeks and have been having irregular periods 3 months now and I'm on birth control?
Since birth control has hormones in them and if you quit it can take a few months for your periods to settle down. Spotting is very common. However, it's always a good idea to see your doctor and have him/her explain everything to you.
Does lipofuze affect birth control?
I have been taking Lipofuze for 3 days, and i I have been taking Loestrin for about a year or two. I only take birth control to make my periods regular (I am not sexually active). On the third day of Lipofuze I had some spotting (which is about a week before my scheduled period)
What does it mean if you've been spotting for 3 months after your periods and now you have brown spotting?
Brown spotting is usually referred to as old blood and can be a indication of pregnancy, implantation bleeding, urinary tract infection, vaginal/reproductive infection etc. Spotting is also known as break through bleeding when on birth control pills. There is also a condition referred to as Dysfunctional Uterine Bleeding which means spotting or bleeding before or after your periods. Do a pregnancy test first. Then see your doctor hun.
You have the implanon birth control which 99 effective but your period is 2 weeks late and ive been having some brownish red spotting on and off could you still be pregnant I've had spotting before wh?
Spotting and irregular periods are side effects of the implant. If you still think you're pregnant, take a pregnancy test.
What if you missed a pill and started your period early are you pregnant?
Sometimes when you miss pills or do not take them everyday at the same time, you may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that is normal while on birth control. Spotting or breakthrough bleeding may start right before you start your menstrual cycle. If you haven't been on birth control for at least 2 months, I recommend taking a pregnancy test, especially if you have been missing pills or do not take them everyday at the same time.
Would you get pregnant if its your first time on birth control pills?
If you're on birth control pills for the first time, you don't have any more of a risk of getting pregnant than you normally would if you have been on them for a long period of time.
If you have been on birth control for years and then change can you get pregnant?
Yes, because your off birth control...
