I am 22, and have been on the pill (Loestrin 24) for six months. I had spotting during the first few months of being on the pill but since then I haven't, which is one of the reasons the following is concerning me so much. I'm a week before the placebos, and I have had 2 days of light spotting and cramps that felt a lot like mild menstrual cramps. Before taking BC, I had this occur frequently during ovulation, but I doubt that it is this time for two reasons: one, I technically should not be ovulating, and two, even if I did it is a week later into my cycle than ovulation should occur. My boyfriend and I have had sex several times over the past few weeks, every time with a condom as extra protection and to my knowledge there was never a break in the condom. However, the symptoms I described seem to match that for implantation bleeding pretty well and are at the time you would expect implantation bleeding. It is making me paranoid!! I am in a situation where I very much do not want to become pregnant at this time. What does it sound like to you? =/

Sounds like you think about it too much. Our bodies respond to all sorts of stresses and changes; diet, activity, weather, substance exposure - any could cause the response you describe.

You shouldn't be paranoid at all! If you are on the pill and using condoms I doubt that you are pregnant.! So relax! Ovulation isn't perfect so you may not be ovulating when you think you should or you are probably ovulating when you shouldn't. Outside factors will effect when ovulate.
Have you had implantation bleeding before?

I have never had implantation bleeding before as I have never been pregnant before, but before starting the pill I used to get bleeding halfway through my cycle that I believed to be from ovulation and that is the only non-period bleeding I've had. It is now my 4th day of spotting and cramping, and I also developed a massive migrane - I think I am indeed stressing myself out, hopefully about nothing.
