Does breakthrough bleeding mean my low dose birth control isn't effective or working?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See your Doctor: Your birth control pill should still be effective but you need to see your primary care physician to adjust your medication to not have break through bleeding otherwise you cannot be sure you are not pregnant either normally or ectopic pregnancy, don’t worry just see your Doctor!
