A member asked:
Haven't had a period in over 2 years due to birth control. is it normal to spot for 2 weeks continuously?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.

Yes: If you say you have not had a period in that long 2 weeks of spotting would be normal . Don't worry.
