Question Posted Thursday December 10 2009, 6:10 pm
I'm on birth control and have been for about 2 years. Recently within the last 6 months,I havent had sex and I've been taking the pill almost daily but not always at the same time,sometimes skipping a day etc. but recently I had sex for the first time in 6th months the other day.We did it once with a condom and once without and when we did it without,he pulled out and i saw the sperm on a towel but it might not have been ALL of it.The next day after I had sex,I got cramps as though I was getting my period and had like brownish blood etc..but not alot at all. Today ,there was actually blood clots (gross i know! sorry!) but it was still sort of brown. I'm in the middle of my cycle of birth control so this is weird to happen. On top of that,at the end of lasts months cycle ,instead of getting my period for a week ..i just started a new pack to avoid my period . I'm very confused as to what's happening! help!

You skipped a period by starting a new pack... I'm guessing that's why the blood is brown and that's why your period is irregular. Sometimes it takes the body time to adjust to a new schedule. If you're super freaked then ask your gyno. [ ohNooooooooo's advice column | Ask ohNooooooooo A Question ]
