First month taking birth control pills and i started sporting 3days before i should be getting my period this weekend is that a normal side effect?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most side effects will go away by month 3. Just make sure you didn't miss any pills.. And spotting can also be a sign of an std. So make sure you are tested regularly for stds and that you are using condoms.
