Hi, I recently skipped my placebo pills for the first time. I was supposed to start taking the placebos on last Wednesday and normally I get my “period” on Saturday- Wednesday. Today I started spotting randomly. First I only noticed it when I wiped but now it’s in my underwear as well. I have been sexually active with my fiancé and I let him cum in me for the first time about a week ago. I’m starting to wonder if this is just breakthrough bleeding or if it’s implantation bleeding? Has anyone else experienced breakthrough bleeding a week after skipping their placebo pills?

Skipping break weeks is not guaranteed to prevent bleeding. In fact some users find it sometimes leads to unwanted side effects, like irregular bleeding, cramps, sore boobs etc

If you don’t usually skip it’s not uncommon to experience side effects. You may need to skip breaks over a longer period of time so your body can get used to the constant dosages.

If you’ve taken all of the pills on time and have not had any interactions or absorption issues, it’s highly unlikely to be implantation bleeding. You can spot randomly anytime on the pill including after skipping placebos.
