A member asked:
What is breakthrough bleeding, how long does it last, what color could it be, how much blood loss, can you take a hpt, will hpt work?

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding which is when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. Color and amount are not relevant. Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss changing brands or changing birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous. Pregnancy tests would work just fine

Multiple connotation: There are multiple saturations called breakthrough bleeding. What you seem to be addressing is bleeding in the middle of the cycle while on birth control. It is usually mild spotting for a day or so. It is not a reason to do hpt.
