Birth control pills: When someone first starts the birth control pill there can be abnormal bleeding and spotting for the first 3 months. Even though she is taking the medicine correctly. This is your body adjusting th the hormones in the pill. This is normal. Just continue to take the medicine on time as directed.

Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. Its no big deal and usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect and does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working.
