No: It is important for all to stay on tract with the pill regimen as instructed. Never bounce around from one week to the next. It is not uncommon for girls to have irregular bleeding the first 3 months they take a birth control pill. Just keep going and it should straighten itself out. Always be sure to call your doctors office if you are having problems or concerns with any medication you receive.
