A member asked:

I missed a low-dose bc pill before sex and stopped taking it after. noticing light, brown spotting. could this be implantation bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Preg test: This is in all likelihood not implantation bleeding but comes from you stopping the birth control pill. You do want to take a home pregnancy test in 10 days.
