A member asked:
Can the birth control errin cause irregular bleeding? i was on it had my period then two weeks later what seems like to be another period.

Yes: Irregular bleeding is the most common side effect on the pill. Be sure to take it consistently and be careful of other medications, particularly antibiotics. Once started it tends to persist through the cycle. If it recurs you might discuss making a switch.
