What Do Dark Spotting And Discharge After Missing Contraceptive Pills Indicate?
My boyfriend and I have been having sex and only using my birth control pills as forms of contraceptives. We went on a trip a few weeks ago and my pill schedule got messed up. We have recently suspected that I am pregnant but it is too early to take a test at home to tell so I stopped taking my birth control pills for the health of our potential baby. Since then, I have had dark spotting and discharge even though my period isn t due for about 9 days. Does this mean I m not pregnant?

Hi,
It might be an implantation bleeding.
But at this stage, there is no test known to tell you that whether you are pregnant or not.
Wait for your due date. If bleeding does not start, take a urine pregnancy test on the first day of the missed period.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
