Q: 

Why is this happening??

Hi I've been on BC for about 4 months now and I have had unprotected sex recently and he did not ejactulate inside me but I've never missed a pill or have taken it more than two hours late. But about 3 days before I would start my placebo pills this month I am spotting a bit of brown and really small bits of red occasionally. But I have also been dieting and exercising A LOT and have lost about 7-8 pounds in a week. Could this be why I'm spotting, or is it a chance of pregnancy ??

Dear Anon,

Thank you for posting today.

It's more likely the sudden change in lifestyle (weight loss, etc.) There is only about a 1% risk of pregnancy when on the pill and having full intercourse (with ejaculation).
