Some : Some low-dose oral contraceptive pills have higher rates of "break through bleeding" than others. If you have just started using the pill in the last three months and have no other symptoms, it may just be your body becoming used to the pill. If you have been on the pill for longer than three months, then you should call your doctor. The break-through bleeding may be an indication of infection or may be a sign that you need a higher-dosed pill. Of course if you are having any other symptoms such as fever, pain, bad odor, or abnormal discharge, call your doctor right away.

Bcp's and bleeding: With the current form of oral bcp's, punctuality is important because of the much lower dosage of hormones in the active pills. If you take the active pills within the hour of having taken the previous day's pill, withdrawal bleeding will not usually occur. If you did not start a new pack 7 days or less from your last active pack pill, get a serum HCG test to make certain about pregnancy.
