A member asked:

On birth control.period like bleeding/cramping a week before period. take pill perfect,had sex protected, could this be old periods blood finishing up?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breakthru bleeding: Bleeding the week before your period can be a side-effect of your birth control. It can also be from other things such as slight trauma during intercourse. If it just happens once, I wouldn't worry about it. If it happens every month, you might consider a different pill. Best wishes!
