Hello Anonymous,
Why did you take just one birth control pill? Was this your prescription or did you take a pill from someone else's pack?
Unfortunately, I could not find any information about such a scenario. But, I do not think taking only one birth control pill would cause breakthrough bleeding. Check with your physician.

Thanks, I cannot find any information either. I want to come off the pill. I've been on it 15 years. I am currently still break through bleeding from my last pack and made the decision to stop but panicked about it last night and started a new pack. I don't want to start again in another weekbut I don't want to continue this pack of pills.

Hello Anonymous,
Thank you for getting back with the details. Taking an oral contraceptive for 15 years is a long time, considering some research suggests that prolonged use of birth control pills increases the risk of certain types of cancer, such as cervical cancer and liver cancer.
Talk with your gynecologist. Certainly report the break through bleeding and freely express your concerns.
