A member asked:
I'm bleeding/spotting two days after rough intercourse, and changed birth control pills a week ago. what's the bleeding from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
