A member asked:
F, 24, philippines. i had severe dysmenorrhea, so i decided to go back to taking birth control pills (micropil) on the very 1st day of my period after stopping for almost a year. 1st day was on aug 23, its been 10 days since and i'm still bleeding?

When oral contraceptives are started, it is not unusual to have breakthrough bleeding especially in the first 3 months, it happens in more than 10% of patients. It is not dangerous and it does not mean the pill is not working. Usually it self corrects over time. If it continues to happen consider using a different birth control method.
