A member asked:

Last menstrual cycle was on nov 15th. didnt have one for december. i just started birth control because i have an ovarian cyst. im bleeding but idk if its actually my period or breakthrough bleeding. i missed a day for the pill, what is going on?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The most common cause of bleeding on the oral bcp's is irregular administration of the active pills. Obtain a serum HCG test to be certain about pregnancy, and if negative, stop the current pack of oral bcp's, wait five days and start a new pack, taking the active pills within the hour of the prior day's active pill.
