It's normal in the first few months of taking a pill to have irregular bleeding.
It's also normal to have irregular bleeding the first time you try to skip your period.

Given this, it's not surprising that you are having the bleeding now. You will just have to keep taking your pills and wait it out. Your period will regulate soon.

Bleeding on the pill
I have been on the pill for 6months. I have my period for 3 weeks every month. Week 1 no period, week 2 spotting, week 3 heavy spotting, and week 4 period as always. What does this mean.

Bleeding on the pill
I have a very similar problem. I have been on the pill for 2 years though. I've skipped it before and I didn't bleed then when I did. I got very hormonal, so I don't recommend skipping unless your going on a holiday or something. I skipped it a second time because i was going to be getting my period on holiday. I had took about a weeks worth of the pill and then i had a tiny spot of blood one day that was four days ago and I haven't seen anymore blood. Still I am worried. is it something i shouldn't be something too worry about?
