implantation bleeding or break through bleeding..?

[hk3187]

ok...i'm 23 years old and not looking to have a child. i have been on tri sprintec birth control pill for about 4 months...current pack i'm on is my 4th pill pack. so far it has been great...no bad side effects...but now i'm freaking out a little.  i'm on my week 2 pills and just experienced probably less than a teaspoon amount of blood when i wiped after going to the bathroom. from what i remember i think the blood was a normal red color (possibly a lighter red) i experienced this small amount of blood on a thursday and the last time i had sex was on sunday morning. i have not experienced any break through bleeding before. i am concerned this may be implantation bleeding. also, i have NEVER missed a pill and take it within the same 1-2 hours everyday (if not the same exact time everyday).   i called my doctor and she said if bleeding continues to let her know and she will give me a stronger pill. she did not have any concern about pregnancy, but i am still freaking out. please someone give some advice!! thanks!

yea i understand there is the slight chance the pill doesnt work...

i've been doing alot of research bc i soo do not want to be pregnant...seems like it may also be ovulation bleeding..? or like i mentioned before..the breakthrough spotting...

i'm just concerned it may be implantation...ahh

It really sounds like breakthrough bleeding - sometimes it can take a few months before this occurs.

Just so you are aware, every form of birth control has a small failure rate.  Some women who are on the pill like to use condoms or spermicide as added protection against pregnancy.
