I was on bc shot for 3months stopped then 3months later got on the pills the first pack made me bleed for 1 day is that because of the shot i was on?

Most likely.: Switching from a progestin only BC to a combination BC can change your hormone levels and give break through bleeding or unexpected amounts of menstrual flow the first few months. I am assuming you confirmed that you did not become pregnant during those 3 months off BC.
