Just bleeding : It is very common to have some continued bleeding after your period fom time to time. It is also common to have irregullar bleeding when you first start birth control. Be patient and it should correct itself in a few days.

Many possibilities: Spotting or irregular bleeding is common in the first 3 months of any new pill. Missed pills also cause bleeding, so be sure you're not missing, but spotting/ bleeding can have other causes: pregnancy, fibroids, stds, a polyp. Bc other than pills may have spotting (the shot, implant, or progestin iud). See your dr to be sure.
