    not at all. Birth control tends to make people spot, especially if you've missed a pill or something. If you are worried about being pregnant just take a test when your period is due =]

    No it doesn't mean that you are pregnant. I am on birth control and every couple of months i spot towards the end of my pill pack. My doc said it was because the closer to the end of your pack you get the lower the level of hormones are in the pills, the spotting doesn't affect how the pill is supposed to work

    No. You should always take an at-home preg test to see if it indicates you could be. If it says yes then see a doctor. (If is says no and you miss your period longer than 5-6 weeks still see one in case there are reasons you need to go over that regard your body's internal safety without the thought of pregnancy.)

    If you read the pamphlet or go online to read about possible side-effects or known possible changes with using your particular b.c. you will be informed and more readily aware if something new happens with your body.

    No it doesn't.. its hormones in the pill that ur body reacts too.. now if u miss a pd then u worry. Also the pill puts ur pd outta wack sometimes and it may even lighten it up

    Considering when you had your period it is more likely it was due to ovulation spotting not pregnancy at all.

    No it doesn't mean you're pregnant. If you think you may be, though, you should take a test.

    not necessarily, but I would be careful from now on.
