Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common. Usually it is o big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider starting birth control for cycle regulation.
