Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very normal 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.

Yes, please: It would be prudent to see your doctor for adjustment to of your medication and to see if you need to take oral iron supplement to prevent anemia due to excessive bleeding.
