Stopped Taking Birth Control, Started to spot...

Hello!

I Have been taking forms of birth control since I was about 14-15 years old. I had my normal period 2 weeks ago and I started to take my BC pills 2 sundays ago. My boyfriend and I decided that we wanted to get pregnant and so I stopped taking them 3 days into my pack.

I just went to go to the bathroom and after wiping I realized there is blood on the toilet paper. Its a light red and its not a lot, but it is there. Is this because I stopped taking those BC pills that I have been on for a long time? I am worried, haven't said anything to my boyfriend yet, don't want to worry him. Help please?


Thanks~ Melissa

Hello Mamiluv21986!

I have this same problem but I do not have any kids. I am 22 years old and I am concerned. We wanted to try to have a baby and so I stopped taking my birth control pills and I spot and when I wipe I get a little bit of blood, lightly colored.

Someone told me, not a doctor, that is just my body regulating back to its normal self without pills. I am not sure though, I would love to see a doctor but I have no insurance. I just moved out of my home state. If you find out anything, please let me know!

thanks
