Depends: If you are sexually active, it could mean 1. Pregnancy and should be checked 2. Break through bleeding (btb) if the dose is very low and the lining is extremely thin and friable 3. Btb if you missed a pill or the time was off you took even by an hour if you are not sexually active: #s 2 and 3.
