A member asked:
It is normal to experience a bit of breakthrough bleeding when skipping your period (not taking placebos) on the birth control pill? i am on yasmin.

Yes it is likely: Irregular menses are not uncommon when you are taking birth control pills especially if you take a break from taking the pill daily.

Yes normal: Continuous cycling with Yasmin and most BCPs are entirely safe. Woman commonly have breakthrough bleeding on the pill, especially with lower dose estrogens
