Break through bleeding after being on the pill for 5 years. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably nothing.: Breakthrough bleeding is very common and usually resolves without treatment. If the problem persists it can usually be treated easily. This does not mean that your pill is not working.
