Side effect: Sometimes bcp's can cause irregular bleeding in some women. Different types have different effects, depending on the individual as well as the type. Call your doc for now and see if it's better to wait and see if it improves or if another bcp is a better idea for you. Hope it's easy to fix for you!

I have an IUD. I had intercourse w/husband 2 days ago and today I was bleeding lightly. I didn't have a period in September, and before birth control, I was never regular due to PCOS. Could this be my period or implantation? Sex not rough or painful?
