Brown bleeding after switching birth control. Negative pregnancy test. Worried
Patient: I switched birth control 2 months ago and when it was the day to start my cycle i had the brownish light bleeding that turned reddish throughout the day. I bled that day and then that night it stopped. The next day i had some but not much bleeding, very light. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative. But since i only had very light bleeding for about 2 days im worried i may be pregnant? Doctor: hi..you are on oral contraceptive pills...if you have taken the pills regularly, the chances of conception is very remote, its about 0.1%...usually the periods that occur with pills are only withdrawl bleed and not the regular menstruation.. and the bleeding will be less when compared to normal cycles..so you need not have to worry..good luck..
