Break through bleeding or something else?

[mum2bubba]

I have been on the pill (Levlen Ed) since December last year and have been taking it at the same time each day. I had sex with my boyfriend May 4th and 10 days later I got brown blood (with a few clots, sorry tmi) which gradually turned light pink, it's now 17th May and only have very light pink when I wipe.

I had a uti last month and had to take antibiotics for a bit, I took them for a few weeks and stopped (even though the doctor/chemist told me to finish the pack even if my symtoms stopped before then), I need to constantly urinate and when I do go only a little bit comes out and it hurts, but when I was pregnant with my other kids this happened too, so I am not sure if it's the uti (urinary tract infection) coming back because I didn't finish the packet of antibiotics.

My period is not due til the 26th May (or there abouts) and I have never had this happen before. I've never had an early period (or whatever this is).

And I am not looking for judgments, just need to know why the heck I am bleeding.

Thanks

And just to add, I am hoping I am NOT pregnant, I am thinking of getting a different form of contreception anyway.

Anyone???

If you bleed when AF isn't due it should always be checked by your GP, I'd head down for a quick checkup

Have you missed any pills to cause the bleeding? I would get a check up and definitely go for something more permanent like the implant which lasts 3 years. You have had a few scares and that way you wouldn't have to worry at all

I don't want to scare you, but when you're on antibiotics, the pill is not so reliable. My SIL fell pregnant with # 4 this way. Goodluck and hope you get the outcome you want.

[mum2bubba]

I haven't missed any.

Antibiotics can make the pill ineffective so i would be concerned about possible pregnancy, even though you didn't miss a pill.
I would think that the uti could have returned due to not finishing the antibiotics so i would go get that checked out by a doctor.

[mum2bubba]

I guess it's too early to test though. I'll wait til my actual period due date comes and if it doesn't I'll test.

[MothersMilk]

If you had sex on the 4th of May and conceived then it would likely show up on a test now so if you're concerned you could test now or if you're not concerned just wait.
I would give the GP a visit anyway to see what's going on. Could be a uti or maybe the pill you are on isn't right for you? No idea but doesn't hurt to check things out

I agree, I think your best bet is to head to your GP just to be safe.
