HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The use of the birth control pill can result in break through bleeding in some women.

This is bleeding that can occur between the periods. Normally, as the person continues to use the pill, this would decrease but if you remain concerned,you should contact your doctor.

I hope this helps
