Endometriosis Support Group
Endometriosis is a common medical condition where the tissue lining the uterus is found outside of the uterus, typically affecting other organs in the pelvis. The condition can lead to serious health problems, primarily pain and infertility. A major symptom of endometriosis is pain, mostly in the lower abdomen, lower back, and pelvic area.
I'm having breakthrough bleeding/cramping mid-cycle. I've never had this while on the pill, except when trying to stop my periods altogether which did not work. But things have been very normal since I'm taking the pill and breaking for my period.
Can this be normal? I did take my pill a few hours late a few days ago because I had the stomach flu. Would that little difference bring bleeding now?

I'm obviously not a doctor of any kind, but I think you hit the nail on the head when you said you took your pill late. My experience has been that if I am ever late with my pill or miss it altogether, I spot a few days later. It's not something to worry about hun, although if you really are nervous, you can call you gyn.hope this helped! have a pain-free and wonderful day!
I'm so ultra sensitive, I will have spotting if I'm 10 minutes late taking my pill. I have to be very prompt and take it exactly within minutes. Check with your doctors office but you can take ibuprofen up to 9 per day for 3 days to stop the breakthru. I do this every now and then when I have spotting and it works pretty well. Again, check with your gyno's office to get the okay. you can also search online about ibuprofen for breakthru and read up on it.
