Im a 38 year old woman,I have been on birth control for the past year with no issues until this past month.I have been experiencing spotting a week before I finished my birth control and not having a normal period,what is the answer,could I be pregnant or just my pills arent strong enough?
Hi, The possibilities in this situation are the development of hormonal imbalances perhaps due to weight gain secondary to pill intake which in turn could have created the need for a higher dose or failure of the pill or disturbances of the hemopoietic system secondary to pill intake. In this scenario, I would ask you to see your consultant for a complete evaluation including blood profile, urinalysis, pregnancy test, sonogram and monitoring. Please maintain a healthy weight and a healthy diet. Take care.
