Bleeding during birth control

I have a question regarding bleeding during birth control. I have been on the pill for over 7 years for endometriosis. I have always had regular periods while on the pill and have always been on the same kind, never switching brands. Right now I have about half done my pack of pills and a i disocvered some bleeding after I had gone to the washroom. I am worriedf as to what this might mean. I have read that breakthrough bleeding can occur if a pill is missed, but i have not missed or taken any pills later this month. Do you have any suggestions as to what may be causing this?

I am having the same problem myself....my brand has a web site I went to it and check out thier FAQs....It could be one of thier common side effects..

Check and see if your brand has its own web site...That might be able to help you..

I am still not sure but my brand web site gave me some insight.

i too had side effects like that. It effects everyone differently at different times. I had cravings, tender breasts, spotting, and many symptoms that could be confused with pregnancy symptoms. it was very confusing, and annoying. But as always, where bleeding is concerned, you should contact your doctor. Even if they say it is a side effect, then at least u will know

As the body adjusts to hormonal changes created by the pill, women often experience some minor side effects. Spotting between periods may occur while taking birth control pills. If you continue to experience side effects after a prolong time, make an appointment with our doctor.

I've always had a mild discharge and I have went to the doctor about it. The only thing that they tell me is "you just have a discharge. Take this. It's nothing suxually transmitted". The other day there was a little bit of blood that came out and I'm not due to have my period for like another 2 weeks. It only did it that one time that day. Does anyone know what could be the cause of this? Please help me out because I don't want to have to go to the doctor and they tell me the same thing as always.
