    UPDATE.

    WARNING. GRAPHIC

    So. I've had what I think could be spotting? It was not in my uderwear but where I wiped after going to the toilet It only happened twice and I've not seen anything since. I don't know much about spotting so unsure if this counts. Again it's not occurring when it should be as my period isn't due for a couple of weeks.
  • You've stopped taking the pill recently so it's possible that the spotting could be because of that. It takes time for your body to go back to normal after taking hormonal contraceptives.
  • Probably ovulation.

    OP,

    You obviously wanted to get pregnant or else you would have started taking the pill again when you were meant to. Sounds like if you've stopped taking it completely hence the bleeding.

    Actually the reason I stopped taking it was for personal reasons I don't really want to say on here. I wasn't actively looking to get pregnant and assumed I would be covered on my 7 day break. Please don't make assumptions.

    If you have just come off the pill, you don't know when your period is 'due'. It will not necessarily be a month after your last withdrawal bleed. Your body can take a while to get back into a cycle after coming off the pill.

    Agree with the poster who says spotting could be ovulation, though.

    Personal reasons...like wanting to become pregnant? Sorry OP but anyone who actively does not want to become pregnant uses a method of contraception properly rather than hoping for the best with it...

    Incidentally, I agree with other posters - spotting is likely to be because you've come off the pill, but if you are worried see your GP or visit a clinic rather than ask a bunch of strangers on a forum who aren't allowed to give medical advice.

    Shockingly there are other reasons or someone to stop taking the pill other than to get pregnant. I have not had sexual intercourse since the start of when I was meant to take my new pack because I'm not actively looking to get pregnant. If I wanted to get pregnant their would be no reason for me to lie on here? Where is the logic in that.

    Just for all you people who seem to be judging. I am old enough. Financially secure enough and in a commuted relationship. So like I said becoming pregnant wouldn't be the end of the world however it's not something that I planned.

    I also went to the doctors yesterday the reason I asked on the forum of strangers is because If everyone said nah their is no need you to worry I probably wouldn't of gone to the Socrates straight away as I work very long hours and don't have time to get to the doctors.

    Can we please stick to what the actual issues are instead of trying to catch me out on something. If I wanted to get pregnant I would have said / would still be trying now.
