"I am taking my birth control pill continuously (3 months). After 1 month of taking it, I have some slight bleeding. Is this normal?"

It is normal to experience some spotting or irregular bleeding when starting a new contraceptive pill or during the first few months of use. These irregular bleeding episodes usually stabilize or disappear after 2-3 months of consistent use. It is important to continue taking the pill as prescribed, even if you experience these minor bleeding episodes. If the irregular bleeding persists beyond 3 months, a pill with a higher estrogen content may be considered. In that case, it is recommended to speak to your pharmacist or healthcare provider for further guidance.
