Bleeding on OCP: If you missed a day or two of the birth control pills, especially with the lower dose pills, it will cause the irregular bleeding. The bleeding is due to the changes in birth control pills and the changes your body undergoes with the shifts in hormone levels. If you didn't miss more than one pill, the risk of getting pregnant is lower.
