Probably normal: Women will often get "break-thru bleeding" on the pill. If this bleeding is within the first 3 packages ignore it. If after the first 3 packages, or if you have been on the same pill for a long time, a different hormone combination will probably stop the bleeding. Remember to ign ore bleeding in the first 3 months on the new pill.
