A member asked:

How likely is it that im preg? sexually active, take my bcp relatively on time, and dont skip. i had 2 days left of pills before i get on my white ones and i started bleeding lightly, still am lightly bleeding, small cramps 2 days into white pills?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Taking the active pills "relatively" on time will allow for breakthrough bleeding to occur, as estrogen withdrawal may occur if the time expired after the previous day's active pill is much greater than one hour, in some individuals. If this pattern continues, even with rigid adherence to punctuality, ask your gyn provider to change the strength/type of oral bcps.
