BREAK THROUGH BLEEDI: Get a pregnancy test for starters. Once that is negative , go and see your doctor. You might need some extra support of progesterone . make sure that your cervical smears are normal. also i can't see your age . The causes of bleeding need to be seen in light of the patients age and risk factors.

Depends : Check a pregnancy test. Could be a progesterone only pill or you might need a higher dose pill or something else going on
