I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ARI tmiiii

[LeRaven]

I have 1 week left of my birth control then sugar pills but for some reason today I started bleeding/spotting which is un-usual for me.
I haven't missed any pills or anything last night.

i was at the bfs last night and we didn't have sex but fooled around, but he wasn't hurting me or anything so that's why I was surprised to see it.


I was drinking a lot of coffee today and kept going to the bathroom when i noticed everytime I peed, blood seemed to come out (like, not in the pee) it was like a diluted red.
Didn't hurt to pee or anything like that, and would spot minimally through out the day but the most blood seemed to come out when I go to the bathroom.

I had a few very minimal cramps but like
idk should I be concerned or no I mean I'm not in pain or anything I just found it super weird since I never spot during the month unless I screw up my bc pills

Was it just what you would consider as spotting? It sounds very light from your description. Sometimes you can have what's called breakthrough bleeding. Which pill are you using and how long have you been on this one?

Tri-cyelin low or something I've been on it for like ...5 years or so?

It was lighter today but still present, still seemed to mostly occur after I finish peeing

Are you sure it's not from your urethra?

I'd consider a urine test to make sure it's not a UTI brewing, but it may just be Tri Cyclin Low is too low of a dose for you now. Sometimes our bodies adjust to BCPs and you need a new one. If the bleeding isn't bothering you though, it's not a big deal.

....lol I'm tempted to pee on one of our chemical sticks we use in cat/dog urinalysis

I WONDER HOW ACCURATE IT IS IN HUMANS  

[Arianah]

Do they measure bacterial growth?
