What Causes Irregular Spotting Instead Of Periods While On Birth Control Pill?

I had sex for the first time with my boyfriend on March 27th, then again on March 28th, and on April 4th. I am on the birth control pill, Falmina. Each time we had sex we used a condom and he never finished inside me. Sorry to be graphic but we would start with other things other than sex..basically I gave him a blowjob and he came in my mouth, then a minute later he put a condom on and we had sex, and like I said he never finished again inside me and that is how it would go each time we did it. The reason I m asking is because this is the week I normally get my period, it usually comes on Wednesday which is today. Monday when I wiped after going to the bathroom there was a little tiny pink color. Then Tuesday there was a tiny tiny light brown discharge in my underwear but it was barely noticeable. Then later that morning there was a little bit of red blood in my underwear so I put a pad on. As the day went on I kept getting some red but then it was a lot of light brownish color and some clotting it seemed like. Then other times that day it was darker brown. Today, Wednesday, when I normally first get my period, there was nothing in my underwear. But a little later in the morning I started bleeding on the pad I was wearing and it was just red blood. I went to the bathroom and blood was dripping into the toilet so I wore a tampon and pad the rest of today. I changed my tampon and there was quite a bit of red blood on it and in my pad some darker red. Then later that day I took my tampon out but there was not a lot of blood. Now I ve been wearing a pad and there s no bleeding at all. This is very weird for me because I usually have heavier bleeding on this day and it progresses. I m very confused and nervous something is wrong because I had sex and I don t want to be pregnant. What are the chances and why is this happening?

Hi welcome to healthcare magic,
I understand your query and concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of hormonal imbalance secondary to oral contraceptive pills there by causing irregular periods.Do not worry.I advise you to take iron capsules for 3 months.Get an ultrasound abdomen to look for any vascular abnormality in the uterus.Instead you can go Intra uterine contraceptive device by speaking to your doctor.
Consult your gynaecologist for expert management and follow up.
Hope I have answered your query at the moment.
