A member asked:
I've had breakthrough bleeding the past two months but i never miss a pill and always take my pill on time. what does this mean.

Usually no problem: Usually there is no found cause to breakthrough bleeding. Sometimes an infection can cause brown discharge so you should get checked for infection if brown discharge more than three days Stress can cause hormone changes that lead to irregular bleeding Sometimes you will need to change pills
