Can i get pregnant while taking the combined pill if breakthrough bleeding is occuring?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Still works: Breakthrough bleeding occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. . Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss changing brands or changing birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous. The pill is still effective.
