OCP bleeding: Continue your pills and call your doc if it happens more than 3 months.

Thank

Keep on the pill: It sounds like you are bleeding in the first week of your pill pack. Sometimes this can happen if you missed or were late for a pill, sometimes it happens if you have recently started on this pill. If it happens for 2 or 3 packs in a row then possibly the balance of the hormones in this pill isn't right for you so let your doctor know.
