What's wrong with me

[EmG1997]

Hi I'm just going to start off by saying I've been on the same birth control for ten months and this has never happened. Last week I started a diet that consisted of me probably eating way too little on the weekdays (600-900) calories with exercise. I know that's bad and I will quit that as it wasn't very fun, but the last two days I've noticed I've been spitting pretty badly. It is dark brown and now has bright red in it too. Its about the middle of my birth control pack. I don't know if this is a sign of pregnancy or if this was caused by stress and under eating. I haven't has sex for three weeks and we always use a condom too. But this is very strange because I haven't had irregular bleeding while on this birth control before.

Yes, birth control pills are generally a safe form of contraception and not taking it if you need it for birth control would not be wise.  They do not interfere with your future ability to conceive/ your fertility at all, the above is not correct.

Chima reminds us that this side effect may occasionally happen if someone does not take their pill correctly.  good luck

If you would read the package insert that came with the pills you would see that breakthrough bleeding is a common and expected side effect of being on the pill. It doesn't matter how long you've been on it, it can happen whenever and it doesn't mean anything. It can happen frequently in women who miss pills or take them late also.

Either way, it has nothing to do with pregnancy.
