Question

I miscarried...but then I was on birth control for only two weeks..I started a week after I miscarried. My question is this..I was only on it for 2 weeks, and I spotted some but really started bleeding 9-10 days later...now was that withdrawal bleeding or possible ovulation with period??

Answer 1

I already told you. That you could be pregnant because you were having unprotected sex. The bleeding that you experienced was due to your going off birth control and possibly due to your miscarriage. It was hormonal. It does not mean that you were not ovulating. Since you were taking birth control, it is going to throw off your cycle a little bit and your ovulation will be sporatic. It could happen anytime!

When a woman is not taking birth control, typically she will ovulating half way through her cycle but, birth control supresses ovulation and some women ovulate irregularly even during their period! Since you went off birth control and were only on it for 2 weeks, you were not protected and could have ovulating the first day off the pill or a few days later when you started to bleed. The only time that it is safe to have sex while off active pills is if you took at least 21 active pills in a row. You did not. You may have ovulated.

Take a pregnancy test because you had unprotected sex and talk to your doctor about getting sterilised because you seem to need it.

Answer 2

Your hormone levels are really out of whack from the combination of the miscarriage and the starting/stopping birth control. You do not ovulate while on your period. Ovulation takes place appoximately halfway through the complete cycle. I am confused about your wording and the timeline of events here, but if you had abnormally heavy bleeding and cramping AFTER your miscarriage, at a time that you are not due for a period, go back to the doctor, or atleast call and describe it immediately. It is possible that you are having a very severe complication that causes a type of hemmorhaging.

Answer 3

you couldnt have started a period so soon. Maybe it's you body adjusting to the hormones in your birth control method. My advice: avoid hormones all together. They are awful for your body's system. Try and look into the IUD without Hormones. It works well (the most effective birth control out there 98%) and you don't have to worry about taking or missing pills, etc.

think about it.

I'm sorry about the miscarriage! I hope you can move passed this trial stage in life.

Answer 4

my advice would be stick to rubbers. Avoid messing up your hormones.
