Hello, I am 33 years old, I have been taking the contraceptive pill Lamuna 20 for 15 years and have had normal bleeding for years, but usually only need 1 pad per day. During my last period from 2.1. - 6.1., on the morning of the 6.1. there was only a light brownish coloring, which disappeared by the evening. And then there was only a trace of a slightly gelatinous mucus on the toilet paper. What could this be?

Good day,

If you have taken the pill reliably, pregnancy is very unlikely. Therefore, one must assume a hormonal disorder, which can be caused temporarily, for example, by stress, but can also be a sign of an illness. That's why please see your gynecologist if the next period is again so weak.

Sincerely, Dr. Höllering
