Ok so i took only one pack of loestrin 24 (i havent been able to pick up more pills so ill have to start over next month). My period was VERY light..brown and only lasted 2 days . I cramped kinda bad for the first day as usual but then it went away shortly after which isnt normal. I figured it was from the birth control. But then my breasts have also been very sore, and i have blue veins going all over my breasts and chest, sometimes i feel very queazy, and sleepy. Then i had sex the day after my "period" had finished and shortly after bled a few red drops and then nothing more. Has anyone else had this happen? I've never bled after sex. Could this be from the pills? Or even pregnancy?

I didn't abruptly stop though. I was on the sugar pills and had my "period". Also it was only like one or two drops of blood about 10 mins after intercourse.

No, breakthrough bleeding is more like spotting. If you just had 2 drops of blood after intercourse, that is normal...sometimes little tears can happen (especially if you were not lubricated enough). If you have no other pain or symptoms other than this, it is OK.
