question: Hi doctor, I am a 28 year old female, and I am on birth control pills (Femilon) for the past three months. In the first month, bleeding started on the third pill-free day, and that time I bled on the first and second day. The bleeding was less, and I used only one pad that was not filled. From the third day, I started normal bleeding until the sixth day. In the second month, I finished my pack on the 19th, and I got my period on the sixth pill-free day. At that time, I bled a little amount for three or four days. And in the third month, I finished my pack on the 16th, and I got my period on the seventh pill-free day but, I bled minimal amount, not even one pad was soaked completely for three days and finished on the fourth day. Is it normal during birth control pills or is it a side effect of the pill? Should I stop or continue the pills? I am confused. Please help.
