A member asked:
Got period on 2nd week of bcp. is it normal? why does it happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: It's not unusual to have break through bleeding when on BCP's because the endometrium becomes thin and fragile. It is more common with lower dose estrogen pills. Break through bleeding does not affect the contraceptive effect of oral contraceptives.
