A member asked:
I am on the birth control pill and i have been bleeding every other week like a normal period i don't know what's wrong?

Side effect...: This could be a side effect we call breakthrough bleeding. It happens when the hormone dose is too low. Contact your doctor. It may be that simply changing the pill will fix this.
