A member asked:
I am on the mini pill and breastfeeding my 8month old. i missed a pill and i'm now having spotting. my period hasn't come back yet. is this implantation?

Unlikely: The spotting is due to missing the mini-pill. Your period hasn't come back yet due to the pill (progesterone) and the fact that you are breast-feeding. I would take a home pregnancy test to be sure but it seems unlikely that you are pregnant.
