A member asked:

So i am on lo loestrin fe. my boyfriend and i have sex using spermicidal condoms and he does not cum inside, however i am spotting a week before perio?

Menses irregular: Common occurrence and difficult to place a cause for it on any particular changes. If you think that you somehow might be pregnant, get test urine strips otc and test yourself one week to 10 days after you miss your period (or not). You should be fine. Good luck.
