I take the pill and I still bleed?

20-year-old woman3 years ago

I've been taking the pill continuously for about 2 years now and for the last month I've been having the same kind of spotting. I wonder if it's normal to have this, I didn't have this before.

Hello, thank you for your question!

Although unpleasant, this situation can happen to anyone taking a contraceptive, even continuously. It is in no way a sign of a problem, and the spotting usually goes away on its own.

I hope that I've put your mind at ease, and I'll be happy to answer any further questions you may have!
