A member asked:
I started a hard workout about 3 weeks ago. i'm on a pill that keeps me from having a period. i've been spotting and had cramps. is this normal?

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very normal 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.
