Dr. Ivy Fisher answered
Pediatrics 44 years experience
BCPs: Sometimes break thru bleeding is unavoidable, even when regulating periods with birth control pills.
No worries as long as excessive bleeding (2-3 wks)
x 3 monthly cycles doesn't occur. A diet rich in iron also helps: milk, beans, red meat. Welcome to health tap, Dr. Ivy Fisher
