I went on BC pills three months ago. I have had normal periods since except a small devasion on what day I start now. Strange this is, all of a sudden I am spotting blood. I went to the GYN last week cause I thougt I had an infection. She took a culture but I never heard anything back. I will call tomorrow. She didn't seem concerned. I don't know if that is normal or not.
Spotting blood, is this normal?

I sometimes spot; and I think esp when you are new to the pill it can happen too.

Dang...hit the wrong key. I'd ask her for sure though; ask her if the pills are strong enough for you. Sometimes spotting can mean you need a higher dosage.
Hi Poopster. I wouldn't worry about the spotting and the day you are due moving around. I went off the pill nearly two years ago, and I discovered spotting and my period always came a day or two earlier than expected.I usually spot about 2 or 3 days before my period is due, and the spotting is very very minimal. Please don't stress, as this is quite normal.I actually started bleeding quite heavily about 1 year ago, and my stupid doctor said that it was nothing to worry about. I was beginning to wonder why I wasn't pregnant yet, and why the bleeding was so heavy.I spoke to my Mum about it, and she told me to switch doctors. So I did, and he put me straight in for tests. It turns out that I have 3 fibroids in my uteris. So of course, since there is more surface area, I bleed heavier. I will be seeing a gyn. next week, and see what options I have to remove them. The largest one is 3.5cm in diameter, but they are not cancerous. Phew!
