Is it normal that i noticed bleeding only when i wiped? i just started wk 3 of my 3rd pack of birth control(active pills). what is causing this?

Break through bleed: If you miss pills or take them late you can have what is called break through bleeding. Infections such as chlamydia can also cause this as can interactions with some other meds or this might not be the right pill for you. Be sure to use a condom to decrease the risk of infections and check with your doctor to know what is causing this.
