Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.

Keep taking the pill: When women have been on OCP for several years it is not unusual to have irregular bleeding, early periods, or even a skipped cycle. As long as you have taken your pills every day, at the same time, your expected failure rate would be around 3%. Therefore you should be protected, as long as your were regularly taking the pills.
