A member asked:

I've been spotting for 8days &when i have sex i bleed heavily. i'm on birth control &not expecting my period for 2weeks. what could be wrong with me?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a Doctor: It can be so many different problems. It can be a sexually transmitted infection. It can be as simple as birth control pills being weak or you missing some pills. It can be a polyp or a bad cervix infection. Please see a doctor
