Hey,

I've been taking birth control since 2012, so quite some time (around 9 years), I finally decided to discontinue it since I recently had a smear test result that came back with HPV, and it's caused me to feel a bit anxious about continuing to take it.
My last pill taken was 26th November, I had a withdrawal bleed from Monday 29th Nov until the Friday 3rd Dec. Now today I've woken up (7th Dec) and realized I've started spotting again. I also have some low back pain as well as pelvic/pelvic floor pain, although I don't know if it's related.

If anyone who has gone through the process of discontinuing taking birth control knows what to expect I'd really appreciate the advice. Is it normal to bleed again so soon after my withdrawal bleed? Is this just my hormones being confused and such? What can I expect otherwise? Should I be worried about the random bleeding?

I was on the combined pill Microgynon btw, not sure how much this changes things but thought it worth mentioning.
