Is there anyway to stop breakthrough bleeding from birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
"Breakthrough bleeding" while on oral bcp's is mainly caused by not taking these "low dose" active pills within the same hour as the prior day's active pill. Sexual activity can also irritate an inflamed cervix and cause light bleeding. See your GYN physician for an exam, and guidance. Stopping the current pack, waiting five days, and starting a new pack, minding punctuality may work also.
