A member asked:
Does breakthrough bleeding happen when youre stopping bcp after finishing the pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Although the amount of bleeding during the "placebo" week with most low dose oral contraceptives is much less than a normal menstrual period, the bleeding begins when the active pills in a normal pack of bcp's are finished.
