Can A Switch Over In Birth Control Pills Cause Variation In Flow During Periods ?
Hi I switched birth control s a month ago, yasmin to alesse. A month ago I started to spot a week before my period. I got my period but it was very light. Now this month I have spotted again at the same time as of last month however i am now two days late of getting my period. As well the spotting started off as heavy and would stop for a day than continue and would lighten out. I have sex with out condoms and I have taaken a pregnecy test but It was negative. Is this all because of the switch of BC or could I be pregnant

hi;
Repeat the pregnancy test with morning sample of urine.If it is negative then this spotting can be because of switch of pills.Please consult a Gynaec to decide the better suited pill for you.Don't switch pills by yourself.
thanks
