A member asked:
Super light withdrawal bleed on inactive pills- started first day of inactive pills and is dark brown/light red. should i be worried about pregnancy?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: Light periods and even absent periods are not uncommon on birth control pills. As long as you didn't miss any pills in your pack, I would not be concerned. You also don't need to be concerned about the color of your bleeding.The color will vary depending on how long the blood has been up inside your uterus before it comes out.For more information: www.AskYourGynecologist.org

Probably not: Unlikely you are pregnant but if other symptoms appear can do rapid test or consult gyn
