Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding occurs when you have bleeding at unscheduled times while on the pill. . Often things get back to normal the next cycle. If not then schedule a visit to discuss changing brands or changing birth control methods. This is very common. Other than being annoying it is not dangerous. The pill is still effective.

Change birth control: The reaction of birth control methods vary from one woman to the next. If a birth control method causes extended periods of bleeding, especially if it is painful, then that woman should consider a different method. Sometimes simply changing the type of birth control pill can make a big difference. There are many other birth control options including some that commonly cause cessation of menses.
