A member asked:
I'm 18 and on the contraceptive pill. had my period two weeks ago and now had light pink spotting for a couple of days! what is this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
On pills: Mid cycle spotting on birth control pills can be because of taking pills late, an infection, abnormal cells on the cervix, or adjusting to the pill when you first start them or if you change brands. It isn't possible to say which of these is the cause without a full history and exam. Hope this helps.
