A member asked:

I missed one birth control pill about 2 weeks ago. a few days ago i had some very faint pink spotting. could this be implantation bleeding?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Male "b.c." pills?: If you are a female, pink spotting could be hormonal withdrawal bleeding, early menses or any number of other causes. A pregnancy test will clarify the situation. We do not yet have a "male" birth control pill.
