Hello Anonymous,
You can experience breakthrough bleeding when you take your birth control pills erratically, miss too many doses, or stop taking them.
Birth control pills contain synthetic hormones that prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation, making the uterine lining inhospitable to a fertilized egg, and partially limiting the sperm's ability to fertilize the egg.
Consult the physician who prescribed the birth control pills. Report that you have not taken the pills regularly, had unprotected sex, and are now having these symptoms.
Regards,
Maryann
