I was taking birthcontrol pills until Dec 21 because I started taking an antibiotic for a toothache. So the 21st was my last day of birthcontrol. I started my period on the 25 and it lasted until the 29. I had sex on the 30,31,1,2 and 3 unprotected but he pulled out each time. I ovulated on the 8th of Jan which was Sat and I started having bad cramps Monday night and realized Tuesday that I was bleeding like the flow of a period. Today is Wed and the bleeding has slowed down but hasn't stopped completely. I also started taking a new pack of BC pills on Jan 1st but stopped taking them on the 5th... Can anyone tell me why I'm bleeding?

It is likely the starting and stopping of the pill has caused your cycles to be irregular. Are you not wanting to use birth control pills? Are you using another form of birth control instead?

Yes I'm stopping my birth control pills. && I'm not using a different form.

Since the bleeding is tapering off, I wouldn't worry about it. Again, more than likely your body is adjusting to the changes in hormone levels because of the pill.
