A member asked:

Can someone explain withdrawl bleed? if you stop birth control in the middle of the pack & then bleed is this wd bleed? mean not pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: The hormones in the pill keep the lining of the womb from growing very much, so when this hormonal 'support' is stopped... Voila! withdrawal bleeding. However, if you are sexually active after stopping the pill, please use another form of contraception to avoid unintended pregnancy.
