Dark Brown Spotting, Birth Control Pills Taken Irregularly. Pregnant?
hi ive been taking bc a long time. but i stopped and took my pills irregularly and when i felt like it for a month and a half and got no period for the longest time. during that month i had unprotected sex . so immediatley the next day i started a fresh pack , but i have been having dark brown spotting on my first two weeks back ( taking them daily as i should) am i pregnant or is it something else.
no you are not pregnant. taking the birth control pills created an imbalance in your hormones hence there was no occurrence of periods for a long time.the uterus requires proper amounts of estrogen and then progestrone to cause proper bleeding.
it is good that you started a fresh pack.and the bleeding you were experiencing is called breakthrough bleeding which is seen in many women. it is not a reason to worry.but from next time kindly dont miss the pill and if you do use some other form of contraception like condoms etc.
thank you, wishing you good health
