Starting to bleed & its not the week of menstrual on my sprintec. should be worried?

Probably not: It is not unusual to experience breakthrough bleeding on birth control pills. This is related to thinning of the uterine lining caused by the pills suppression of estrogen production by your ovaries. Take a pregnancy test and if this persists, then talk to your doctor about other pill options.
