Bleeding after continuous birth control pill use: what should I do?

If you are experiencing bleeding after your period while taking continuous birth control pills, it is important to continue taking the pill as usual. It is common for there to be some irregular bleeding when starting a new oral contraceptive, so give it a few months to see if the bleeding subsides. If the bleeding persists or becomes concerning, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss further steps.
