I missed ONE birth control pill and I've be spotting for 4 days?

I take my birth control religiously, but to make a long story short, missed one for the first time a few days ago. I know spotting is run of the mill, but for this long? And it's more like a period. My term usually only lasts 3-4 days. I'm confused. This isn't a sign of pregnancy is it? I'm married & own an active sex life next to my husband. What's going on?

Girls! I entail backing! SERIOUS!?

I've been 8 hours late taking my pill and spotted for 5 days, so yes, this happen and it isn't a sign of pregnancy. My guess is that since you've been on the pill for so long, your body is VERY used to it's daily dose of hormones... if it doesn't take those hormones on schedule every day it go into withdrawal period mode. It should stop eventually. If you're vastly concerned you could call your doctor or a nurse helpline. It's possible they'd recommend stopping the pill for a few days and then starting a trial pack (obviously you'll want to use a back-up birth control method for about a week if you do this).

Will you walk adjectives the means of access when Aunt Flo is contained by town?



Will the birth control pill work if you miss the thoroughly first pill surrounded by the pack?
Something something like UTI?
Provera Question?
  • Is this true or not?
  • I'm really worried I get my term but I haven't realize it. Like I don`t know I missed it by not checking my undies
