Doc put me on bc 5 m ago in order to regulate my periods.she changed it twice. i've had spotting or bleeding every day. is this normal?

Abnormal periods: Many things can cause abnormal bleeding. Hormone imbalance or a problem with the uterus, cervix or vagina like polyps, infection and fibroids are common problems. Get another gyn checkup.
