Seeing spotting while taking birth control is totally normal.It's just your body getting use to the hormones you are now taking.My doctor told me you should see spotting or light bleeding for the first 3 months of taking birth control.
When you start birth control it is not unlikely to have spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that can last up to 3 months or longer. You should not stop taking your birth control because you will actually mess up your cycle and when you will have your period. You will also experience more spotting or breakthrough bleeding if you stop now. The spotting will go away,however, you should visit your physician to consider changing the dosage of birth control. Spotting and breakthrough bleeding usually stops when switched to a higher dosage of birth control.
Yes you should continue your pack of pills even though you are spotting. You should never discontinue taking your birth control unless advised by your physician. If you stop taking your birth control you will lower the effectiveness of the birth control drastically and you will increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Spotting is a side effect caused by birth control. Spotting typically occurs when you are either starting birth control for the first time( spotting may last up to 3 months), spotting can occur if you do not take your birth control everyday at the same time, and it can occur if you use a certain medication, such as antibiotics.
Spotting light pink is a charachteristic of being pregnant...you should really go to a clinic and find out, especially if you miss your period four months..or have cramps, tenderness, and light spotting.
Not really but you can have spotting at any time.
The spotting sounds like break through bleeding. You should never stop your period from arriving by taking birth control without consulting your gyn or doctor beforehand. See your DR about your spotting.
It may be your birth control if you are taking any they cause irregular periods.
It takes the body about three months to regulate itself to the hormones of birth control pills. So if you are within the first three months, you are most likely going to experience wonky bleeding and spotting. However, after the three months are over, your withdrawal bleeds (because you do not have periods while on hormonal birth control- you have chemically induced withdrawal bleeds) should even out to the 4 day placebo pills in Yaz.
These feelings, when they persist or are severe, are never "normal" and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
You should be seeing a gynaecologist before you become anemic!! I agree....Any abnormal bleeding you should be concerned about, hard to say what may cause it. If you are on birth control, the 1st 3 months its normal to have SPOTTING...or if you are pregnant, 1st trimester bleeding occurs sometimes but is def. unhealthy so either way it get that checked out...A.S.A.P
Everyone who goes on Depo Provera has changes in her bleeding. Some women bleed more, others bleed less. Some women don't have a period from the time of the first injection; for other women, periods will stop after two or four injections. Women on Depo Provera may have spotting (brown or red discharge) that goes on for days, weeks, or months. This spotting is not an indication of pregnancy or a sign that Depo Provera is not effective, as long as you've gotten your injection on time. Spotting can also be a sign of infection. If you have not been tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia, talk to your health care provider about whether you should be tested. i was pregnant like 100 times and i loved it! anyway, yes! congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! The same thing happened to me. I spotted lightly for the entire three months of my first depo shot. Fortunately after my next shot, the spotting stopped. My sister had the same experience. Your doctor should have explained that you may have irregular spotting/bleeding during the first 3-6 months on the shot. The brown spotting is normal and should go away soon. :)
There are many causes of abnormal bleeding, but because some of them are serious, you should see a doctor regardless of the amount.
