A member asked:
Causes of breakthrough bleeding on bc pills? i never miss any. normal for bleeding to last 5 days before the end of the actives pills in a pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BCP ?'s: Breakthrough bleeding on oral bcp's can occur w/o "missing" a pill by simply taking them later than the hour when the previous active pill was taken. Today's oral bcp's are very low in hormones, and require punctual schedules to avoid withdrawal bleeding.
