Spotting whats going on...men answers won't be helpful!!?
Question:
i had a normal period for about a week. Then period got lighter and seemed like it turned into brown spotting but the spotting lasted about 2 weeks then turned into yellow-brown discharge. I have never spotted before and ive had my period for 7 years.
The spotting has since stopped, but i have symptoms of a bladder infection but it doesnt burn when i pee and i dont have cramping.
During this whole thing i've had sex two times and have been sexually active for about a year everytime with a condom and me on the pill.
What should i do? Pregnant? Infection?
Answers:
I don't think that your pregnant because, spotting often occurs when you miss a pill or so. If you stay on track with taking your pills for the next month or so things should return back to normal, if by chance it doesn't return to normal consult a doctor.
You probably have some sort of an infection. Get to the doc ASAP!
you might have an infection. if your worried call your gyno, they know what they are talking about!
That is unusual. Only a doctor can tell you for sure, but it sounds like this may be a side-effect of the pill; birth control can have weird side effects and really mess up your periods. You've had your period for 7 years, but how long have you been on the pill? It sounds like that's the most likely cause. It doesn't sound like anything too worrisome, but definitely see a doctor if this starts happening all the time, you have any pain or discomfort with it, or it really bothers you and interferes with your life.
You should have the infection checked out, probably a UTI, and missing a pill can alter your cycle. It sounds liek you have 2 different issues going on

First thing skipping pills especially the first 2 weeks means you can ovulate so do a pregnancy test first!( I know you say you use condoms...actually it's not you it's him!...but he hasn't got the problem so do it)
Second you can have pelvic inflammatory disease which can upset your cycle( though it's likely the erratic pill taking is the cause).so great you are using condoms...PID can just be bugs from your bottom...so see the doc...get some tests done including a urine test...and you should be ok with some treatment.
Third.this erratic pill taking.consider injectables, implants, coil if you are so bad at taking pills
get to a doctor sounds like you have an infection
