A member asked:
I noticed faint pink spotting pre-period month 4 of new birth control pill, then slight brown spot 4 days post period month 6. should i change pills?

Breakthrough bleed: 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.
