Placebos and brown colored discharge
Its been over 5 weeks since I started a new birth control. I am on my placebos right now and noticed that I started to spot but it was a dark blood colored. I have had unprotected sex with my husband but he has not finished the job so to say every time we are together. I am just hoping its a slow start to starting my cycle. I have endometriosis and have horrible cramps and pain that started on Saturday but nothing now. No more spotting. Could I be pregnant or can this just be a slow start for my period because of the change in birth control.
it's more than likely just from changing birth control methods. your periods are always screwy for a few months when you change out medicine like that.

Hello,
This spotting looks like hormonal imbalance causing the symptoms. However to confirm the status of pregnancy, I suggest you to test for pregnancy by a highly sensitive pregnancy test 10 days post ovulation with a sensitive ( 20 - 25 mIU ) pregnancy test. Also then I would suggest you to get your serum HCG levels estimated since this is more specific than urine for pregnancy tests.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
