    Birth control and bleeding
    I have been on the pill for about 2 years now and this month I have been late on them for a while and I have missed quite a few pills in a row. Now, Im cramping and bleeding, but I am not supposed to start my period for 9 more days. Does this mean I have implantation bleeding?

    If you missed taking ANY of your pills you increase the risk of pregnancy greatly.

    It means you could be, this is a possible sign, but there is no way to be 100 percent sure.

    Even if you take all of the pills as required, they are not 100 percent so even with them you can. But missing pills make it more possible

    Missing your pills can also throw hormones off and you may spot or bleed just from that. See what happens when your period is due to start.
