What should i do if i take low dose birth control pills and i bleed in the middle of my cycle?

Midcycle spotting: Best discuss this with your doctor. Perhaps you need a change in your birth control pills if this continues.

Change pills: The average dose of estrogen in most pills is equivalent to 30 or 35 micrograms of ethinyl estradiol. The "low dose" pills have only 15 to 20 micrograms - sometimes they are better tolerated in regard to nausea and headaches, but the downside is that there is a much greater frequency of breakthrough bleeding. There is also a greater risk of pregnancy. You should discuss a change with your doctor.
