A member asked:
Bleeding between periods while on birth control. that seems abnormal since i never did before i started them?

Pretty common/benign: I would say that if you don't need the bc; stop and see what happens. It could be a bc side effect or just a result of getting older. As we age, our menses can become more abnormal and unpredictable. Maybe switching meds or a hysteroscopic exam are also to be considered.
