A member asked:
I'm diagnosis with pcos and using metformin+ocp, when my period is over, i had another one after 1 week, i'm very worried is it real period or bleedin
A doctor has provided 1 answer
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.
