Been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for 11 days on bcp..today bleeding is heavier than normal. can this be my period? im currently on week 3 about to go into week 4 of 1st birth control pack?

It's hard to tell because you are taking OC pill for the first time. You do not have to know if period starts today or not, just continue to take the pill as usual and observe.
