A member asked:
Bleeding one week early on 3rd month of birth control pills.. have never missed a pill since starting in september and have only taken it an hour late once... is this normal? abnormal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not unusual: That bleeding was likely withdrawal from the placebo pills from the previous week. In the first 6 months on birth control, adjustments in dosage sometimes need to be made. If this pattern continues, would call prescriber about possible adjustment of your dose.
