A member asked:
Switched to low dose bc pill, had breakthrough bleeding 2nd week. i'm into 2nd week of 2nd pack bc pills and no period. neg pregnancy test. normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal ish: Although a call or examination with ob/gyn is possible. It is common for bc to have these effects especially during the first three or so months. Switching also may resolve the problem may not. The most risk is the displeasure and the cost of pregnancy tests since your natural way of knowing if you might be pregnant is no longer viable.
