No Period Due To Birth Control. Have Brown Spotting, Fatigue, Cold. Reason?
I haven't had my period in a while because of my birth control. I have been sick with a cold lately, feeling very fatigued, and now I'm spotting dark brown and crapping? What's up with this? Am I pregnant. I do not spot. Never have and I've been on birth control for 10+ years. I recently took green tea supplements though. Not sure if they could have affected my birth control or not.

Hi,
Thank you for choosing Healthcaremagic. Green tea does not affect birth control pills. As you are not getting periods for a while you need ultrasound to know the endometrial thickness. If everything is normal you need progesterone tablets for withdrawl bleeding.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. In case of any doubt, I will be available for follow-ups. If you like my answers kindly rate it, and write a review as well. Please do not forget to accept it.
Thank you,
Wish you good health.
Regards,
Dr Arif

Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
You should consult a gynaecologist for urine, blood test and ultrasonography to rule out pregnancy. Sometimes cold and stress may also changes the menstrual cycle.
Good luck.
Take care.
