    Is bleeding a sign of being pregnant?
    OK so I just started birthcontrol about 9 days after I had sex, than 3 days after I had sex I started bleed like a normal period and if I was not on birthcontrol my period would be at that time. It lasted a little longer than a normal period about 8 days. Than about two days before I was on the inactive pills I started to spot very lightly and than right now I am 3 days into my inactive pills and my period is very very light and it is kind of brownish and also pinkish is this a sighn I could be pregnant?

    I don't think it is a sign that your pregnant birth control can mess your periods up when you first start them it will take a few months in order for your body to adjust to them.

    A healthy woman would not be bleeding when pregnant. Its when you stop having periods that you know you are pregnant. Don't forget, the pills are artificially changing your cylces, so your hormones are going to be out of wack for a while.

    Yes, as everyone else here said, its most likely just from the effects of starting the pill. Some women experience bleeding at the beginning of their pregnancy from implantation(but this is very light, and very rare) some experience "early pregnancy bleeding" which could be a number of things, but is usually fine for health(tho should always be reported to the doctor) this usually occurs before women even know they are pregnant, and they assume that it is simple a period. Most women will not continue to have bleeding through pregnancy, and it should NOT be considered as a sign of pregnancy.
