    Missed pill, spotting before period. What's wrong?
    Hello everyone, I am taking birth control but I missed three of them this month by a couple of hours. My boyfriend and had sex without a condom for no more than 10 sec. just to see how it felt. The last pill that I missed was about 5 hours late. My period is suppose to start on the 18th of December but I have been spotting a darker color since Friday. I was told this is normal due to the missed pills and screwing up my hormone levels but I would like some more opinions. If anyone has experienced this please help. I'm worried that I may be pregnant.

    Hi there,
    I have the same problem. Don't worry too much. I was worried too. Your right, it's the hormone levels that cause that problem. If you've been using the pill a while now, you shouldn't worry too much about being pregnant. I personally went to my doctor to make sure. Thankfully, it was a negative on the pregnancy part. I am glad you use a condom just to make sure. Use the condom until it clears up to have peace of mind.

    Yes, if you only missed the pills by hours not days I wouldn't be too worried. The spotting is most likely because of the missed pills. That's common. Good idea though to use the condoms as a precaution.
