Very hard to say. Bleeding can be unpredictable for the 1st 1 to 3 cycles on birth control pills due to the hormone changes. It MAY stop if you keep taking the pills but could also continue to be irregular. If you dont smoke or have any hormone issues your Dr might add a very low dose of estrogen to the pills for several days to help stop it. Also take the pills @ same time of day each time
