So I am 21 years old and i have been taking combination bc pills for 6 months now. Last month I decided to start mid cycle (2 weeks after my period) instead of my usual (on the first day of period start) and as that pack finished, i skipped the placebo pills n went straight into a next back to skip my period. During week one of taking the new pack i experienced diarrhea an hour after taking the pill, this occurred two days in a row.I am also a sucker for taking my pills an hour or even up to 4 hours late sometimes.But i never miss a pill on any given day. I am currently experiencing cramps and spotting that I have never experienced, and i have 6 pills left in my pack. I am concerned about the nature of this spotting. Is is break through bleeding or implantation bleeding? i have a very healthy sex life, and two days does not pass without sex and he doesn't finish inside me all the time, but he often does. I am gravely concerned.

@dreadheadAngel,
Be more concerned and call your doctor. Because yes, you might be.

And while you're having a chat, ask about other forms of birth control which would work considerably better for you. As in, maybe, an implanted device, because taking daily pills is just plain not working for you.

If that is utterly impossible, then here are a few suggestions:
  • Use condoms as a secondary form of birth control.
  • Set a recurring phone reminder to take your pills when you're supposed to.

@jespah,
Thanks for your response.I just got off the phone with my doctor actually, and she says I may be too, due to the diarrhea.I plan on taking a test in a few days.

I do plan on changing my bc method, I actually have been changing my methods a lot, to find a stable with few side effects.The pills so far hasn't been terrible, except for the fact that life gets i n the way sometimes. Thanks again.

@dreadheadAngel,
Long before phones, I used to keep track by turning the holder upside down on my dresser, and then rightside-up when I had taken a pill. I would also have to remember to turn it back upside down at night. When I would travel, I would just take paper notes.

Then again, that was during the great dinosaur wars.

Best of luck to you!
