Subject: breakthrough bleeding and discharge followed by a missed period
> i have been on low dose birth control pills (mircette) for about 6
> months and at first everything was running smoothly. i'm sure the pills
> were working because i got my period exactly on time and my cramps
> subsided greatly. however, last month, i had some breakthrough bleeding
> and discharge for a few days and i had a very short, light period. this
> month i had sex for the first time and used a condom. i experienced
> breakthrough bleeding again right int he middle of my cycle and this
> time it lasted for about a week and a day with some days heavier than
> others. i had sex only 3 times and used a condom every time. one time,
> the condom broke at the very beginning of the sex and we quickly
> replaced it and there was no sign of pre-ejaculation or semen. i am
> pretty certain that there is no way i can be pregnant, but i am worried
> about that as well as other problems since i had breakthrough bleeding
> AND am now missing my period. i have never missed a period in my entire
> life, so this is very strange for me. i don't know if it's possible
> that just having sex or being on birth control may have affected my
> cycle or that something else could be wrong. i called my gyno and she
> said that it should be ok, but that if i miss my period next month, i
> should have a pregnancy test. i dont know i can be stressed about this
> for that long!! please help me if anythign like this sounds familiar to
