Is this normal since I am not supposed to have my period soon? Is this a sign of pregnancy?

Hello,

It could be spotting (very light blood loss outside of menstruation). This happens sometimes and is not necessarily a sign of pregnancy. In this case, you should still continue to take your pill as usual.

How long have you been taking the pill?

Have you started taking any new medications or natural health products?

Have you forgotten to take any pills?

The biggest sign of pregnancy would be if you are not menstruating by the end of your pack. In such a case, you would need to take a pregnancy test.

Thanks for the information!

Then it could be spotting. It can happen that there is spotting, especially during the first 3 months of taking the pill.

On the other hand, if you see that the spotting persists, I would advise you to consult your pharmacist or your doctor, who could suggest a change of pill if necessary.

In addition, I also encourage you to consult your pharmacist or write back to us if you see that you are not menstruating as expected at the end of the pill package.
