posting on girl friends behalf

not really a teen ----21 years old but still could use some help

My girlfriends been on birth control for about 2 years now and there was a point when no insurance was an issue and birth control needed to be stopped for about a month.  During that month I would not have sex and then she got her period and started her birth control as soon as it ended.  We had unprotected sex for the first time in about a month 8-10 days after she picked back up on her birth control.  Now at about 2 weeks after her period she had been bleeding to the point she has needed a pad (this has gone on for about 4-5 days now) no cramping or any type of symtoms that poiint to pregancy.  I want to post this to get feedback on this situation.
also i have always used the pull out method while on birth control never ejaculated inside purposely or accidently


I know it sounds confusing I apoligize im just franticly trying to get input

When starting a new birth control often times you are not regular right away and many women will spot/bleed (called breakthrough bleeding) when it's not there time of the month.  With most (from what I read and personal experience), after 3 months of being on birth control they should be back to normal or close to normal.

Also, some women bleed around ovulation time, since it's 2 weeks after her period that's a possibility too, I've never had it so I'm not sure how long it typically lasts.

My guess it it's just her body getting used to being on the birth control, but if it continues for more than a few months she might want to at least mention it to her dr.  Also, if you know what she's taking you can google that and see if one of the side effects is breakthrough bleeding or spotting.  I've heard breakthrough bleeding is very common with IUD's, and when I was on the pill I had it for the first 2-3 months I started taking it.
