I have had spotting for the last five days while on birth control...?

Question

I'm not supposed to get my period for another 2 weeks, but i've had spotting for the past 5 days. I don't take my birth control pills at the same time everyday. Does anyone know if this is normal, or should i see a doctor? Is my birth control not effective? Please help, thanks.

Answer 1

Is this the first time that you have taken birth control? When I first started taking birth control I did that too. If it is your first time then your body is just trying to get use to the pills and you might have that all the way up until you start your period. I asked my doctor when I was taking birth control and that is what she said. Hope that this really helps you out.
