A member asked:
Recently started the pill half way thru cycle and have been spotting dull red not bright for 4 days, and stinging down there, definitely not pregnant ?

See below:: Starting on a birth-control pill 1/2 way through your cycle will give you some irregular bleeding and spotting for several months while your body and the pill synchronize. This won't give you stinging. That is more likely to be something else such as a yeast infection or a vaginal fissure. Best wishes!
