A member asked:
Is it normal for a period on birth control to have average to moderate bleeding during the sugar pills? my period isnt scheduled to end until sunday and today is thursday. its little heavy but nothing too concerning?

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.
