A member asked:
I've been having constant period-like spotting, could it be my birth control (tri-sprintec)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough bleed: Sounds like breakthrough bleeding which occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss changing brands or changing birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous.
