I ALSO had a drastic change in diet and exercise im eating less than I should be tbh and I’m exercising 4 times a week vigorously ..could this be why also...I don’t know why the doctor would say that I had the discharge for 3 days now and my last pill of my pack was today so I’m pill free until next week my period is usually due around Saturday

Hello again,

As I said, you can't be pregnant if you don't have sex - additionally you are on the Pill. I can't say why your doctor said what he/she said.

Additionally, the body doesn't work like clockwork - irregular bleeding can happen, even while on the pill.

Take a test - that is the one way you will know. There is no point in wondering and worrying about it if there is a test that can tell you within a couple of minutes.
Best,
Susan

Hello Louisetcos

Thank you for writing!

Did you get your period after the spotting? If so, then you can't be pregnant. Many periods start off with brown discharge and since you are on the Pill a year now, you may not get periods at all - just a bit of discharge for a few days every month. This is normal and this is not a sign of pregnancy. I'm not sure why your doctor said this. You also can't get pregnant if you aren't having sex.

As long as you are taking the pill exactly as prescribed, you have little to no chance of pregnancy. You can take a test to reassure yourself. You might want to consider changing your doctor. Listening to patients is a very important component of health care.

Best,
Susan
