A member asked:
What could be the cause of a woman having her period w/ severe pain while it is not the week of her placebo pills, after being on bc for 3 months?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough bleedin: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
