Hi ive been on my birth control pill almost for a year, iam sex active but we also use condoms, few weeks ago I had a kidney infection and I was taking very strong antibiotics, i also took my pills like 12 hours later than i should or even more for about 4 or 5days(didnt have sex tough ,its not pregnancy for sure) so now after I finished my antibiotics i noticed a brown spotting it now lasts about for a week,while on my birth control pill And when I finish the packet I get my period about on the 3rd day,today its the 4th -still no period showing and brown spotting is still occuring. Whats wrong?
Hi, Thanks for writing in. Antibiotics intake will not cause any side effect such as spotting. It is mainly due to stress associated with urinary and kidney infection which is causing the spotting. Please do not worry if it is for few days. Any heavy long duration flow must be discussed with your doctors. Any infection is a stressful event and can cause imbalance in female hormones. This further can cause mild spotting or inter cycle vaginal bleeding. This spotting or bleeding is usually less than normal bleeding occurring during cycles. Please take adequate rest and good amount of healthy nutritious foods and water in adequate quantities to flush the kidneys.
