    Period, Spotting, Birth Control? Help?!

    Hey, Im new to the site and Im in need of some major advice.

    Im 18, and have been on birth control for over a few months now. My boyfriend and I have unprotected sex frequently and have been together for over a year now. We generally use the pull out method along with my birth control. We both understand that there still is a chance I can get pregnant.

    My problem right now is that, the week Im supposed to get my period, I did but it wasnt normal for me. My norm. is light and lasts about 4-5 days. It was black and lasted about 2 days. Then nothing for a day then out of no where I got one light pink/reddish spot and then again nothing. Ive been having cramps, stomach pain, and been feeling like I want to throw up when I wake up and around the time I go to bed. I feel all icky when I eat food and its just been going downhill.

    Ive found nothing online and Im starting to worry since tonight is the night Id start on my new birth control pack.

    Please help.
