Noticed Light Spotting While On Lutera Due To Irregular Intake Of The Medicine

I had my iud removed and started taking lutera the same day. I've been on it for 4 weeks but I have missed like 10 pills for different reasons, mostly because of forgetfulness. I've had some spotting during this 4 week span but no period since last month. Is it impossible that I am pregnant?

Hello,

Multiple missed pills can cause contraceptive failure and may cause accidental pregnancies. The spotting may not be the real periods and you can go for a urine pregnancy test for reassurance.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
