Withdrawal Bleeding After Pill Discontinuation: Pregnancy Concerns & Side Effects


Question
I am 32 years old.. my last normal period before birth control was January 25, 2006.  I had a withdrawal bleed in February 16, after stopping the pill early.. I started them back March 5 after a blood test showed i was not pregnant.. For March and April i had withdrawal bleeds but they were lighter.. my breasts are swollen and I am bloated somewhat) should i be concerned about pregnancy, or are my two symptoms possibly realted to bc pill?

Answer
If you started back on the pill and have had normal withdrwal bleeding in March and April, you do not have to worry. It is highly unlikely that you could have conceived while on the pills. If you have any doubts, take a pregnancy test, but do not stop taking the pills.
