“Do I have my period or implementation bleeding?”
I do not know if I got my period. This morning I thought I got my period because I peed and wiped and there was blood. However, it is now night and there is no blood on my pad but only when I pee or wipe. The blood is bright red. Today was the day I am supposed to get my period. I am on sprintrec birth control for about 8 months now and have never missed taking them at the correct time. Could it be implementation bleeding?

Being on a birth control pill for some time may lead to your period to be very light, or even no bleeding at all. Your period comes from stimulation of the uterine lining, the dosing of your birth control pill may not be enough to create that lining, which can be expected using birth control pills. Of course any time you are concerned, I recommend doing a pregnancy test, however, in that you have taken the pill daily and this is the time you are anticipating your period, it is unlikely to be implantation bleeding.
