On the pill and with brown discharge on wiping and chance of pregnancy

Resolved question:
i am 23 and am on the pill levelen ed. my periods usually come 1,2,3 days late (from when starting the sugar pills). my period / start of sugar pills was supposed to be saturday, since then i have had a bit of brown blood when wiping after going to the toilet (almost every time i go to the toilet) thats the only sign of blood i have had there is no flow at all and no red blood. it is now tuesday night and i am starting to wonder if this is normal or if i may be pregnant?? sometime i do forget to take the pill. i have a partner and we are sexually active he does always wear a condom but not throught the whole thing just to finish

Hello,

Thanks for the query at DoctorSpring.com.

While on the pill, it is more often the norm to experienced diminished / scanty bleeding, sometimes only spotting.

The pill is known to gradually decrease the amount of bleeding , sometimes you might even skip a period, so do not worry.

Just because you have sometimes taken the pill erratically ( forgotten it once in a while ), it is worthwhile taking a pregnancy test to exclude a pregnancy.

Try and take the pill sincerely, though, to avoid scares. Once again, I would not worry about the mild spotting, as that is normal.

Take care.
Please feel free to ask for further clarifications.

Regards
