    Default peculiar spotting

    Hi I missed a pill about six weeks ago and started having spotting the next day so I took a week off my pill even though I was a week and a half into my new packet. I then didn't want my period another week and a half later so finished the half packet and started a new one straight away. When I then took my week break of that one my period was 3 days late and only lasted for about half a day. I thought it was probably because I had quit smoking and didn't really think much more of it as I haven't had any pregnancy signs and hadn't missed any pills other than the one from six weeks ago. I've now been on a new pack of pills for two days and have started to have some spotting, I've been on the pill for about eight years and haven't had any problems on it before does anyone know what could cause this?

    I think you may need to re-read the instructions that come with your pill packet. If you miss a pill one day, you take two the next and then continue as normal. You deciding to skip a WEEK and then start again and then take it longer than normal... who knows what that may have done to your hormones. Your body's definitely confused.

    Keep taking the pill as directed for a few months. If spotting persists then you may need to switch brands or consult your doctor.
