breakthrough bleeding, pos m/c?

[Michelle_k]

ive been on the pill for a few years now (levlen), and havent had a problem. Until the past few weeks where for the last week and a half i have had on and off spotting with the occasional clot midway through my cycle. I know that not all contraception is 100% failsafe, so i guess what im asking is if its possible that i had gotten pg without knowing and am having a miscarriage or if it is just breakthrough bleeding.

Usually i would go to 'my person' to talk about this but its awfully late and i dont want to disturb her.
Any help or info would be appreciated.

Just from my own personal experience, I was on Levlen for about 3.5 years when I had the breakthrough bleeding - it lasted on and off for 3 weeks.
I went to my doctor and she took me off it and put me on a stronger dose Levlen. I then had to wait to take the new one for the bleeding/period to stop after stopping the first pill I was on...that last 5 weeks on and off.

Anyway, she explained it to me as the pill simply wasn't strong enough for me, so needed higher dosage of oestrogen...so she upped me to the stronger pill. She didnt explain though how it had been working for so long then just stopped lol

I would go to your doctor and chat to them about it. Are you on any other medications recently? I think that it was possible the Roaccutane I was on threw my body out of whack

Hope you sought it out and it wasn't a mc
