Started bleeding yesterday it's like a very mild period.is it because of the antibiotic that I am on that I am bleeding early or is it a combination that I stop the pill and I am on antibiotics for the UTI?

Brief Answer:
Due to stopping pills.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The stopping of the birth control pills has caused the early bleeding. If it is a mild spotting only then it can be a withdrawal bleeding and you can get your regular periods on the scheduled date. Do wait and see if the bleeding increases to a full period.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Rakhi Tayal.
