question about spotting?

Question

I went off the Yasmin pill 5 weeks ago and had my last period April 21st. I had only been on the pill for 9 months. Last time I went off it, the same brand, after being on it for 7 years, and everything was back to normal the first month, so I figured it would be the same this time. Well today is day 35, and I have been having some brown spotting since yesterday morning. I took a pregnancy test on Thursday night, day 33, and it was negative. I have felt for about 5 days like I'm going to get my period and now I'm really frustrated. I have never gone this long without a period. I feel under the weather a little and am really tired. Obviously I'll go to the doctor next week if I still dont have my actual period, but I was wondering if any of you have gone through this before. Thank you.

I had thought about implantation bleeding, but doesn't that usually occur before you miss a period? Also the test I took on Thursday night was negative, and it's one that is supposed to tell you 6-8 days after conception. It was positive 6 days after conception with my daughter.

Answer 1

i am currently dealing with the same problem...but my cramping was in my back for 3days and then i started spotting brown and am now bleeding some along with the brown stuff. i have had 2 negative preg. tests but i know my period and this is NOT normal for me. I think i am going to the health dept. next week to be sure. I too thought about implantation bleeding, but again i have read it happens before your missed period (which i was 8days late when the brown spotting began). anyway, good luck and try not to worry,

Answer 2

The spotting that you are having may be what is called "implantation bleeding" which is when the fertilized egg implants into the uterus. I would definately go see my doctor next week! Good Luck

Answer 3

The spotting could be your body gearing up for a period.
