Hi there!
So I have hasn't pretty bad anxiety lately and under a lot of stress. I'm on a hormonal birth control pill (loestrin 1/20) and am on my third pack since starting it in January. However, my fiancé and I had intercourse on March 9th, a few hours after taking my first active pill of the pack (day after last placebo). Flash forward to this week and I am not having severe anxiety worrying about if I somehow got pregnant from that incident. Not to mention working two jobs, and trying to finish my masters degree in May. This evening I noticed very light drops of blood on the toilet paper after I wiped. Is this implantation bleeding? Or could it more likely breakthrough bleeding from all the stress? I've had sleepless nights, panic attacks, and frequent sobbing. It's been real rough. I've never relied soley on the pill before for protection so I am concerned about pregnancy. Any thoughts?
