Period or spotting- The pill
Hi, after I ended my last relationship three months ago I came off the pill (Yasmin). However recently I have started seeing someone and have booked a trip to see him (he lives elsewhere) next weekend. My issue is that my third period since coming off the pill never came... So in order to prevent it from happening randomly at a bad time when I'm away I decided to go back on the pill (have taken 2 days so far) but this morning I started bleeding lightly.Is this likely spotting or my real period?

It may be your period so better wait and see. Continue the pills afterwards. Also you should use protection for first 7 days of starting pills.
