I'm on birth control and experiencing very light bleeding a week before my period for the past few days, with occasional small clots that don't stain my underwear or pad. I'm also experiencing mild cramping and minimal bleeding, mostly noticeable when I pee and wipe. This is my first time on birth control, and I've been on it for 19 days.
