A member asked:

2 weeks before i was meant to start my period i stopped bc and had bleeding the next day for 4 days straight.did that count as my period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bleeding post bcp: Menstruation is caused by a sudden decrease in estrogen/progesterone in a normal cycle. On bcp's, your stopping the pill prematurely will cause the drop in estrogen/progesterone (contained in the bcp) and produce bleeding, just like a normal cycle (without bcp). After this, you may not ovulate (naturally) for several weeks. You can resume your pills after 5-7 days of bleeding, or not.
