A member asked:

Brown spotting since yesterday. 14 days in my cycle and two weeks from menstruation. have been on the contraceptive pill for many years. this is the second time this has happened. same time last month as well so i am not sure if it could be pregnanc?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pregnant?: "Brown spotting" on oral bcp's is usually due to not being punctual on the low dose bcp's. Taking the active pill next in the sequence even a little more than an hour later than the one the previous day, will cause this kind of light bleeding (brownish). If you do have symptoms of pregnancy, obtain a serum HCG test at the end of this cycle, to be certain.
