It could be the pill that you are on. When you have break through bleeding are you continuing taking the pill or do you stop taking it?  

If you havent stopped taking it you have to. Let yourself bleed without taking the pill and in about 5 days start taking them again. I get breakthrough bleeding every 3-6 months. Seems like I hardly ever get it anymore and I cant complain LOL

It might take a while for your body to get adjusted to the pill. Are you taking the pill continuously without a break?
