I recently started taking the contraceptive pill 6 weeks after giving birth and for the past 3 days I have been experiencing bleeding... Is this normal?

Yes, it is normal to experience some irregular bleeding or spotting when starting a new contraceptive, especially in the first few months of use. This side effect usually diminishes over time as your body adjusts to the medication. However, if the bleeding becomes heavy or is accompanied by severe abdominal pain or other concerning symptoms, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. It is always recommended to give a new contraceptive method a trial period of 2-3 months before considering a change.
