Even though on birth control i get my period about 3 days before i'm supposed to every month on top of the actual period week. happens each month. why?

Progestin: The pill you are using may not have a strong enough progestin contained in it to maintain the lining of your uterus. A change to a stronger birth control progestin may alleviate this problem. Talk with your doctor or have a virtual consult.
