If your current method is driving you crazy, there’s probably something better out there.
2. You Have Annoying Breakthrough Bleeding
“Breakthrough bleeding can happen when you start a new method, but it usually goes away,” says Minkin. If it persists, your doctor can put you on a pill with a higher dose of hormones. Even though breakthrough bleeding can seem scary, it really isn’t a big deal. “Think of the estrogen hormone in the Pill like glue. If a lining is building up and there isn’t enough glue to keep it inside, it’ll trickle out,” says Minkin. This can also happen if you’re on a longer cycle pill like Seasonale, which women sometimes take to make their periods go away completely. They’re totally safe to take, but you can sometimes experience breakthrough bleeding in the process. If these mid-month surprises are bothering you, see if another method might work better.
