 Posted: 10/31/05 - 03:00 Post subject: What Exactly Causes Breakthrough Bleeding? |
  |
|
I have been using pill for the past seven months. I don't know if it is normal, but for the past 4 weeks I have been experiencing some bleeding. I would like to know what causes this breakthrough bleeding while I am on pill? I would like some information. Thanks

You should probably go to your doctor and tell him about your bleeding. An obvious cause of breakthrough bleeding is missing pills. Over 80% of women will have some bleeding or even a full menses by the time 3 pills are missed. However, the most common cause of bleeding on oral contraceptives is unknown. It is believed to be due to atrophic bleeding due to low estrogen. The lining of the uterus, endometrium, is quite thin and subject to abrasion even from normal activity. Also, cigarette smoking has been known to be associated with anti-estrogen effects. Studies have shown differences in breakthrough bleeding rates in the first 3 months of women starting birth control pills ranging from 10%-55%. The longer you take the pill the intermenstrual bleeding rate drops to about 10-15% in the 4th and subsequent cycles. Intermenstrual bleeding (breakthrough bleeding as a recurrent problem) decreases from 0.5% to 0.3% in women who have been on oral contraceptives over some period of time. The best treatment in the first 3 cycles of pill use is reassurance that the bleeding problems are likely to decrease and disappear with continued use.

Are you already having an active sex life or your periods are so irregular that you need bc pills to regulate them? I am not sure I understood your problem correctly, you didn’t give precise details.
What kind of pain are you experiencing? Is it pain during periods, during PMS or something else. Blood clots are nothing scary but normal. This usually happens if your blood flow is too heavy and fast and there is not enough time for anti-coagulants to keep your blood from clotting as it moves to your vagina and out of your body. The blood then clots. If your clots are very big, then you should see a doctor.
Although drugs are not so healthy, I usually take some when I have severe menstrual pain. |
