Go see ur family doc: It's not uncommon to have spotting between periods, even while on birth control pills, but especially while on progestin-only pills. However, since you're bleeding for 3wks, it's best to go see your family doc. In meantime, check out http://plannedparenthood.tumblr.com/post/23827960518/timing-of-birth-control-pills regarding importance of taking pills regularly. Progestin-only pills only have 3hr
