Oral bc/bleeding: Interruption of normal use of an oral bcp will cause withdrawal bleeding. Your normal cycle will resume, but the timing of the bleeding ( 3 and 13 February) is not usual. Ovulation when you resumed the bcp will not be stopped by the new cycle of bcp's , so pregnancy may occur if other "protection" is not used.
