Bleeding can happen: While most women will have no bleeding or maybe some irregular spotting, some women will have have heavier bleeding that may resemble a period. This happens more commonly when first starting out. If you are having period- like bleeding and it bothers you, you could go back to the pill. As far as getting pregnant, your chances are atill very low even with the bleeding.
