A member asked:
I'm 22, slightly anemic and on birth control. this is the 3rd week in a row i've had menstrual bleeding (light, no clots or pain.) what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See A Doctor: Recurring bleeding while on birth control should be evaluated, especially in the light of anemia. Additional testing for clotting issues or endocrine problems may be necessary. If all is normal, a change in birth control pills may be warranted.
