Spotting - Women's Health Message Board

Hi,

I have a question. I am on the pill, started a new pack about 2 weeks ago. I started spotting about 4 days ago. It is very light, and I have very mild occasional cramping. I have had a lot going on the past few days, I went home (out of state) to start to plan my wedding. I don't feel stressed. I am very tired though. My question is, will stress or exhaustion still be able to cause spotting or abnormal period symptoms even though you are on the pill? Any input would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
Belle

This happened to me also. The BCP must not be strong enough and you have break through bleeding. I would continue with the pack of pills till the end, but call and let your doctor know what is happening. He/she will probably increase dose or change pills. Who wants to wear a pad ever day of the month?!
