A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough blood: Breakthrough bleeding is bleeding when it is unexpected or not supposed to be present...Usually when one is on medications that prevent periods. Irregular period is an abnormal period in relation to what is normal for you. This usually represents a change in length of time or when the period occurs.
