Question by fred2323: Spotting during third week of birth control?
I have been on birth control for over two years but for the past few months I have been breakthrough bleeding on the last day of my second week of pills like clock work. I will then end up not getting my period, but I will have a normal period the following month. This has happened at least three times. It is not a lot of blood, more like spotting that lasts about 2-4 days.
What could be the reason for this? Am I any less protected?

Here are a few side effects that come with birth control pills. I hope this can help you to answer a few of your questions. Take care.
Side Effects of the Pill
If you are a woman who enjoys good health and does not smoke it is safe to be on the pill regularly.
The pill available today is much better and safer for regular use than the pills available a couple of decades ago. Even though there are major improvements, side effects are present when you begin taking the pill because your body has to adjust to the hormonal changes that are brought on with the use of the pill.
Side effects may include one or more of the following:
– nausea
– vomiting
– dizzy feeling
– tiredness
– headache
– breast tenderness
– abdominal pain
– mood swings
– early or late next period with irregular bleeding
– weight gain
Usually the symptoms will gradually reduce with the regular use of the pill.
