Hello Mrs Does the bleeding occur every day or at particular times? Thanks for the feedback, sorry for the delay! A period of bleeding or spotting can occur when a contraceptive is started, changed or stopped. This does not necessarily indicate a problem as long as it is mild and temporary. If the bleeding persists for more than 14 consecutive days or if it recurs for more than 3 months, you should consult a doctor. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
