Are Hot Flashes, Headaches And Spotting Due To Pregnancy?
I am on the pill and never take the week of sugar pills. I did skip the last pill so I am concerned I could be pregnant. For 5 days now I wake up with hot flashes and Headaches through my day. I did get bleeding for 1 day and brown 2 days later spotting.

Hi..missing just 1 pill also may place you at risk of pregnancy in case you had unsafe sex..so it's best if you perform a urine pregnancy test as soon as possible..and if positive, a transvaginal scan to confirm the viability and site of pregnancy..
If not pregnant..in future be cautious regarding the regularity in pill taking..and in case you miss one pill take it as soon as you remember. or 2 pills the next day
