Thread: spotting while on the pile

Its a week before I am suppose to have my period and I have had it for 4 days. I am on the pill and usually don't have this problem. I missed 1 pill but I took it the next day. Any ideas why I am bleeding?

I have also had this same issue the last several months. I learned for myself that if I skipped even one pill, things get kinda out of wack. My doctor told me to consider trying BRAND pills. Next time you get your perscription refilled, ask for brand pills. So instead of "xyz" brand, ask for Loestrin, or whatever your birth control is. She said that a lot of time pharmacies buy bulk and some of those no name brands can have too much/too little of what we need in them and they can get us out of wack. For me though, my insurance wouldnt pay for the name brand, so I am going back to the no name stuff. Instead of the $20.32 every month, it was almost $50.....
