Not to scare you, but you said you had surgery...were you on any antibiotics? Because that reduces the 'promise' of the pill working.

I was on one pill for years and got break through bleeding so my doc switched me to something else. You may just need to switch brands.
Would that mean the pill is less effective on my body now?

spotting is normal.
I wouldnt worry too much..
the only thing I want to tell you is not to take BC for too long.. I know alot of people that cant have babies because they've been on the pill.. this one person I know has been taking the pill for 5 years and shes been trying to get pregnant for a 1-2 year now and still is unsuccessful.. they even tried to implanting the fertilized egg for alot of money.... she did get pregnant but it was a miscarriage.![]()
just an heads up....

I've been on the pill for too long to even mentionbut I know this has happened to me before. My doctor explained that especially when you're on a low estrogen pill (like orthrotrycyclon-lo) for too long sometimes your body gets so used to (if that makes sense) it that it's not enough hormone and you start to have break through bleeding (between periods). That's when you have to switch to a higher estrogen pill. That's what happened to me and switching pills did the trick.

No, not less effective. Your uterus is shedding it's lining. Just means it's time to switch.
OMG.. I had this same problem 2 weeks ago.. i didnt miss any pills... and I have no idea what happened.. and then again.. this week.. I am spotting.. I called my dr. yesterday... I am going to call again today.. I was teaching when he called... I am suspicious its my new diet.. they say low carb diets could have this effect on the pill... I dont know wh y..

Which pill are you on? I had random problems with spotting when I was on my last pill. Did you forget to take a pill at the normal scheduled time? That can cause some spottage.
Im on orhotryclen lo (sp) and thats the one Ive always been on. I always take the pill around the same time at night.

That's not true. Many people get pregnant right away off the pill. Fertility issues are a lot more common than people think.

Bump for update

Update - 2/29
So I finally went to the Gyno yesterday and initially everything looked fine. She said I dont look pregnant but took my urine to put my mind at ease. I told her that I have been bleeding after sex for a while and that the last time it continued for a while. She said that it may be the pill since I've been on it for a while and she may need to change my medication.
But then she did the exam. She touched the cervix, and I bled. So now I have to go for a pelvic sonogram. I'm a little worried. Stupid me starts researching last night and one of the first things i see is cancer. I have to call today to schedule the sonogram.
Fh tried to make light of it saying I'm brokenFirst my heart problems back in November, than I had surgery in December for another problem, and now this. Go figure that the dr would be concerned about something yesterday.

oh I hope you're okay! maybe it's just a cyst or something? my sisters have had similar problems and they've been fine, it usually ended up being that they had cysts.

Thats what I originally thought. Wouldn't she have seen that yesterday?
