It means: that you are responsible and careful. Monitor your cycles and use Advil or Aleve (naproxen) for cramping and bleeding. If symptoms are severe, see your GYN.

Spotting: It sounds like spotting from trauma to the cervix or vagina from sex or cervicitis or vaginitis . It also could be hormonal problem. If this happens again see your gyn.

I have decided to come off my birth control, however I'm still sexually active but we use condoms. I had my period about two and a half weeks ago but now I'm spotting (the blood was at first a bit red but now it's brown). Should I be concerned?
