A member asked:
Should start taking birth control pills on the 5th day of my period but have missed periods for 3 months and now spotting for 6 days.. what to do?

Missed Periods: the most common reason for missed periods is pregnancy, so if you have been sexually active then you should be tested for pregnancy. If this is negative then you need to be evaluated for your irregular periods.
