I'm on my second pack of Microgestin Fe 1/20 tablets, I have a week and a half until my brown pills. I've been bleeding for two days now, and I'm wondering if the way I started taking them would have something to do with it. I started two days before I was supposed to get my period.
Any info about this?

Especially eHealthy
gloominati, breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect of birth control pills. It is especially prevalent during the first few cycle.

If it does not stop within the next two cycles or becomes very heavy, speak to your doctor. Sometimes you need to try another type of pill.

Best of luck!
