Past few months i've been bleeding on the 2nd week of bcps as well as my regular period. could this be a side effect or could it be more serious?

Check with doc: Any time there is a change in the pattern of your period for a couple of months, get checked. Be sure to stop any new over the counter meds, recr. drugs, or supplements. It would not hurt to check a pg test at home. If you have any other symptoms fatigue, weight gain, etc. get checked sooner. Otherwise, waiting to see what happens next cycle, would not be wrong. If still the same way, see doc
