Hello Doctor,
I got my period with cramps and flow, then it stopped Saturday night. I had unprotected sex Saturday morning while on the birth control pill. Now it's Monday, and I'm cramping with light spotting. What's happening?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
It's advisable to undergo a medical examination, including a urine pregnancy test. While birth control pills are generally effective, a scanty period could occur, especially with prolonged use. If you've been on the pill for five years and experience bothersome cramps, it may be worth considering switching to a different contraceptive method.
Thanks
