A member asked:
Started bcp for pcos & irregular bleeding. been on bc for 15 days now & im bleeding again. can this indicate a serious problem such as cancer or norma?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal.: Irregular and unpredictable bleeding is very common with PCOS. It can take several months to regulate your cycle on a birth control pill. This is not a sign of cancer or anything else dangerous. Hope this helps.
