Breakthrough bleeding while on BC
I been on birthcontrol for a year and some months , I got sick 3 weeks ago with swollen tonsils and got prescribed antibiotics , on the bottle it said may interfere with birthcontrol so I stopped taking them until my antibiotics were done being taken for a week . And I started breakthrough bleeding since that week on and off throughout the day for 3 weeks now . After that week I resumed taking the birthcontrol pills and thought it would cause the breakthrough bleeding to stop and it has yet to stop so what do I do ??

Whether you are trying to clear up your skin , regularise your period s or ease disruptive and painful PMS, keep in mind that birth control pills are merely addressing the symptoms and are not solving the problem.  Your body is actually trying to tell you something! And these pills are not free of side effects. The synthetic estrogen in birth control pills can cause short term side effects like GI upset, mood swings, irregular bleeding or spotting. And even scarier than the “mild” side effects are the serious health risks that accompany birth control pills. These include: Increased risk of cervical and breast cancers Increased risk of heart attack and stroke Migraines Higher blood pressure Gallbladder disease Infertility Benign liver tumors Decreased bone density Yeast overgrowth and infection Increased risk of blood clotting Cancer, heart disease, stroke, infertility.  Surely these side effects make birth control pills a less than desirable option for contraception, and even less desirable for masking acne, period problems and pcod. Good news is that all your problems  can be totally  reversed , not by masking the symptoms  with pills but by addressing  the underlying  cause of the problem and healing it from the ROOT cause. Hope it helps.....

Birth control pills are hormonal pills..you shouldnot have stopped these pills on your own.. Now stop it completely and let your normal flow happen..once you start with your regular flow start a new pack on day 2 of the cycle..also use a barrier contraceptive like condom for this cycle now..
