The past several times my boo and I have bumped uglies I've noticed that a day or two after (never immediately after) I'll have some light bleeding that can last up to 3-4 days. The first couple times anything like this happened, I'd rush to google for info on what it couple possibly be. Of course, google would always tell me I either had an STD or that it was implantation bleeding, aka I'm pregnant. Despite taking my birth control religiously every day and having never missed a pill EVER, as well as getting tested for stis every year with my partner, always being clean and having us both slept with no one else, the thought would still give me the willies and get all up in my head so I'd take multiple pregnancy tests and go to the doc to discuss the possibility of having an std. Naturally, every test, pregnancy and otherwise, is always negative. After spending enough money and mental/emotional anguish on that, I finally learned to stop googling.

The other thing that came up every so often was that birth control can make you more inclined to spot. However, I've been on this particular pill for over two years and only just started having this problem the past few months, sooo I'm fairly inclined to think that's probably not it.

The only thing that HAS changed is that I've lost maybe 15 pounds since summer, which was around 10% of my previous weight (a lot when you consider there isn't *that* much to lose). I thought that maybe this could have something to do with the spotting?

What do you guys think?

And for the poll, have you ever experienced this before or been with someone who has? Did you ever figure out what it was and stop it? less
