It could be-are you on birth control pills? If you are, antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills and some women will spot when they take antibiotics with birth control. If you are on birth control pills, you should be using back up protection like a condom for the entire time you are on an antibiotic and for at least 7 days after you finish the antibiotic.

Hi, sauliite! It's not normal ~ bacterial or yeast infections can rarely occur when taking doxycycline. You should notify your doctor as you may need to change your antibiotic.
