I take the contraceptive pill Alesse, but I have bleeding during weeks that are not my period. Is this normal?

Yes, it is possible to experience light bleeding or spotting while taking a contraceptive pill like Alesse, especially within the first few months of starting the medication. It is important to consider factors such as the consistency of pill intake, any recent changes in medication or lifestyle, stress levels, and other possible symptoms. If you have concerns about the bleeding or if it persists, it is recommended to seek medical advice to rule out any potential infections or other issues. Remember that as long as you have been taking the pill correctly, it should still be effective in preventing pregnancy.
