So this is only my second month on birth control. i dont really know that much and i know my body is still adjusting to it, but on my 2nd week i started bleeding thinking it was just spotting i just thought nothing of it. Now i'm still bleeding and its been a week a half already and i'm suppose to actually start my period in 2 days... i'm just worried is this ok?

As ANNOYING as it is, it is NORMAL have some bleeding and spotting for the first 1-3 months.

If it does not get better by the third month, it is most likely time for a switch in hormones.

Some women spot and bleed more on Tri Phasic pills, so your doc may wanna switch to a monophasic pill.
