Question about Birth Control Pill?

So I'm on the third white active pill and today I noticed in my underwear some brownish-yellow stain. I can't tell if this is from staining it before I last washed it or if this is spotting.

An hour after I took my first active pill I coughed a lot but I definitely didn't throw up. Could this have caused spotting?? I haven't bled when I peed and haven't noticed anything else in my other underwear.

Am I just overreacting?

Is this your first pack?

Chances are your body isn't knowing how to respond. That blood is probably just breakthru bleeding. You'll get your period soon. If not, take your next pack and talk to your OB/GYN.

the stain is more than likely left over from your period. the coughing might have caused spotting but id doubt it. honestly i think you are just over reacting. just keep taking your pills.

It's probably just spotting. But this is normal. Where a panty liner. It'll keep you fresher & you'll be able to tell the difference between recent stains & previous ones.
possibly. or you could be having a temporay bad reaction. but if you know someone else on birth control you could ask them or go to a free clinic and they can tell what it is and anything else you would have to not have to worry about.

good luck.
Perhaps you were a couple of days late starting your pill? I have been bad about taking mine on time in the past and a few times I was actually right on time with them and still had a light brown staining in the first few days. I wouldn't stress it.
if u just started it just a side effect dont worry to much
