She told me it looks bruised and described it as a paper cut. She used the word ectropion and said if it doesn't go away and the symptoms are stil bugging me I can have it cauterized.

Could you tell me a little bit more of what cervical ectropion is?

So I went to the doctor to discuss the light spotting I've been experiencing after sex. She took a look at my cervix and said it looks bruised and described it almost as a paper cut on my cervix. I THINK the medical term is erosion but I could be wrong. Anyways she said no worries should clear itsel...

I was experiencing some blood on the toliet paper after sex and told my Dr. He decided to put me on a higher dose pill. I am just into my second pack with this new pill and occasionally still seeing some blood after sex. I'm wondering if I should go back to the dr... My pap was normal and std is up ...

So if I don't get a period this break week I shouldn't worry? I can't be pregnant. I only had sex once this month with a condom and I've taken multiple tests and they are all negative.

We are basically working on all of that now.

One last thing. I just recently switched to a new brand of birth control pills (mirvala) and upon reading the pamphlet it says that vitamin b12 can affect the pill. I've taken 2 of those vitamins this past week and now I'm really worried.

Yes I think you might be right.

Hi Karyn, Had another therapy session today that seemed to outline why I have trouble believing the facts and logical side of things. (ex. multiple negative pregnancy test, light withdrawal bleed.) and she noted that it has to do with the feelings that are assiociated that that and the feelings mean...

Thank you for that advice. It's nice to see it written out like that.

They are supportive, but I think get annoyed because they can see how irrational I am being, but I cannot.

I'm just trying to understand the pill and my body so I'm just asked a hypothetical question. Say you had sex without a condom during your third week of pills and missed your pill the next day but doubled up the way you're supposed to would you have to wait three weeks to take an accurate test? Or i...

It's mostly been me explaining my health anxiety to her and how the people close to me react to it.

That'd be great. Thank you.

So in April I was worried about my pills not being as effective because of some mild diarrhea I had. Anyways I had a 2 day withdrawal bleed on my break week, just super light during the last week of April. Anyways I am still anxious about it so I keep taking tests. Even one today. They have all been...

Thanks karen. Could pregnancy be a cause for this? I've been worried it could be so I've taken a few tests which have all been negative.

Great thanks, Karen!

Ok, so can i trust the negative rest because it was clearly negative at the 10 mins mark?

I have a question and Evap lines on pregnancy tests. I took one yesterday and clearly looked negative about 6 or 7 hours later I took it out of the trash and it look like a very faint skinny second line had appeared. Why do tests do this? It freaks me out! Can I trust that it was negative?

The only thing different is that I had the spotting when I skipped my withdrawal week. I did not do that this time so it made me worry. And not quote strategies yet. We are getting to that point though.

And is there any reason why my spotting only seems to occur after an orgasm?

Thank you, Karen. And just to clarify that I've been in the pill 5 Years and never spotted. Is it normal for these side effects to happen whenever?

I am in the first week on a new birth control pack and I have been experiencing some light cramping. Today I used my vibrater for a clitoral orgasm and there was some blood on the toilet paper when I used the washroom afyer. Is this normal? I'm really worried.

Does brown blood count as a period on the combined pill?

Ok, thank you. Do you have any tips on trusting that more? My mind is still spiraling thinking it was wrong, the what ifs. etc. I'm still worried.

Hello, I was worried about pregnancy this past month. I did have a withdrawal bleed, just very light, brown and pink for 3 days. I am 3 days into my new pack and decided to take a pregnancy test anyways. It was negative. Did I wait long enough to take the test? I know there was SOME bleeding during ...
