A member asked:

I had unprotected sex 2 days ago and i am lightly bleeding. but i did take 2 birth control pills 5 hours later by accident and another about 30 hours later. im also having a bit of stomach cramps. is this from the birth control pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Vaginal bleeding ?'s: Taking extra bcp's will cause withdrawal bleeding, as the amount of estrogen is increased, and then resuming your regular one a day active pill will result in a sudden decrease in estrogen, causing the light bleeding. If this continues, see your gyn for an exam, as cervical irritation can also cause light bleeding.
