Having my period in the middle of active pills
Hi, I've taken BC pills before about a year ago and I stopped for a couple months then continued again with the same one. It was a low dose and when I started again it didn't affect me so I went on a stronger dose BC. I had to stop again because I was moving and I had started on it again with the low dose BC. But I have had my period after just the first week of the active pills for the past 3 or 4 months. Does this mean its not working and I should ask for a stronger dose BC? Thanks for the help.
Hi,
I greatly appreciate your answer. I was able to talk to my doctor and she did prescribe me a stronger estrogen dose because the BC I was taking years ago was 0.05 mg so she gave me a 0.035 mg dose to see if that will stop the breakthrough bleeding. Again thank you for your help.

Hello,
This can be breakthrough spotting/bleeding occurring due to the birth control pills. It should become better in 3-4 months of starting the pills. It should become better but if it persists then you may need to get your hormonal status checked from a gynecologist.
