Is it normal for a woman to experience bleeding after taking the contraceptive pill?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

The pill has very high levels of hormones which can play a role in your periods. We suggest the pills only if there is an emergency and not routinely. If you are going to be having sex on a regular basis, it is better you go on regular birth control pills. The pill has side effects like irregular bleeding or spotting or delayed period, and withdrawal bleeding. So the bleeding that you are having could be the withdrawal bleeding due to the pill. You may continue to have this kind of bleeding on and off until you get your normal periods. Nothing can be done at the moment unless you have very heavy bleeding which then will need to be treated.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

If you are having light bleeding at the time of ovulation. It is called ovulation bleeding or spotting depending on the bleeding. You have taken the pills after three months. If you have not and you have had a normal period, the effect of the pill is no longer there. So the bleeding you are now having is most probably ovulation bleeding. If you take a pill before or after ovulation, it does not make any difference. Withdrawal bleeding can still occur. It has nothing to do with ovulation. This withdrawal bleeding bleeding is the effect of the hormones in the pill. It is just that different women react differently to every pill though the hormones are the same in every pill.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.

Hi doctor,

Thank you for the reply,

I have already told you, the bleeding you are having is the withdrawal due to the I-pill. There is nothing to do now. You have to wait for a period and after that hopefully, you will start getting normal periods. Do not complicate it by taking I-pill again in the meantime. When you get your period, you can start the regular oral contraceptive pill on day one of your period and continue as it says in the instructions on the box.
