Birth Control and bleeding?

Not sure where the best place to post this is but I went to my doctor 2 weeks ago to get on the pill again after I had my newest little in May. They told me to wait 10 days, test and then start BC this weekend. I tested three days ago and it was negative. However, the day after I tested I started spotting really light. The next day was heavier but it was still only spotting no real flow and today it is completely gone. I am wondering if it could be implantation bleeding because it doesn't seem like a period at all. I know no one is a fortune teller but I don't want to start my pack of BC if there is a possibility I could be pregnant. Advice or experience?

    My first advice would be if you're concerned at all about bleeding, and/or possible pregnancy, definitely check with your doctor.

    Many on here will tell you if you tested and it said negative you aren't pregnant. Test again.

    What could we possibly tell you to do other than test again? We can't know if  you're pregnant, as you yourself said.

    My Doctor doesn't call me back. I was really just looking for advice from someone who has experienced similar situation. Or if someone could say what the protocol is for BC in this situation because I do not know if I should start my pack or not or if it could be harmful.

    The advice was to test again. It's been a few days.

    I agree with the other ladies that you should test again. That being said, every woman's body reacts differently to birth control. It's likely that the bleeding is a minor side effect. But you should of course talk to your doc if you are having concerns. Best of luck to ya hun!

    After having a baby your cycles can be all out of whack. If you are concerned, wait and test again. Then start BC. I was on the mini pill while breastfeeding and then immidiately switched to the regular pill. I didn't have a testing phase. I didn't have any bleeding until DS was 15 months old.
