If you just started taking the pills it is quite common for breakthrough bleeding to occur, and last for the duration of a normal period. Often it takes the body a few months to adjust to a Birth Control pill, and even then some types of pills work better with your body than others. I would suggest just talking to your doctor. They will most likely recommend that you see what happens and if you are still experiencing the same symptoms after using the same birth control pill for more than a few months will most likely recommend a new type of birth control pill (or possibly another method).

Should I be having a 2 week period while on the pill?
Usually no, sometimes you may experience a side effect from taking the pill which is called breakthrough bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding is a nuisance that can last up to a week, which in sense makes you think it is a regular period but actually its not. Most likely you started breakthrough bleeding during your last week of active pills and then you started your "real period" during the placebo week. If breakthrough bleeding still occurs after 3 months, it is recommended that you consult your physician, this may mean you need a higher dosage of birth control.
You just started to take the pill and a week later you started to breakthrough bleed and it is on and off and now that you are almost done with the pack how long does breakthrough bleeeding last for?
Hello, Birth control should not cause you to experience withdrawal bleeding UNLESS you have recently stopped taking birth control. Because you've just started taking BCP and you're experiencing withdrawal bleeding, this most likely means the doseage of birth control is not suitable for you or you need a different form of birth control. See your Doctor and meanwhile use a condom for protection until you've got a new birth control and have been taking it for one month.
What if you missed a pill and started your period early are you pregnant?
Sometimes when you miss pills or do not take them everyday at the same time, you may experience spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that is normal while on birth control. Spotting or breakthrough bleeding may start right before you start your menstrual cycle. If you haven't been on birth control for at least 2 months, I recommend taking a pregnancy test, especially if you have been missing pills or do not take them everyday at the same time.
Why do you get your period two times in one month if it stopped this past Monday and just started again and you're on the birth control patch but you just had surgery yesterday?
If you had surgery, you are probably taking an antibiotic. These can interfere with the patch and cause breakthrough bleeding.
If you just started birth control is it normal to get your period for longer than usual?
Some women will have breakthrough bleeding when initially starting the pill. Talk to your doctor, you may need a different pill.
Start new birth control pack haven't started period?
You should take birth control on schedule regardless of bleeding. Hormonal birth control can sometimes cause a missed period.
Should you keep taking birth control if it just started making you spot bleed?
Yes, because if you don't you will keep bleeding
You missed one day of birth control and the next day you started bleeding but you took 2 pills?

If you have a first day start pill spot a for a day start your period and then it disappears only to have it start again a week later do you have to throw away your pill pack and start over?
If you just started taking the pill recently, breakthrough bleeding which is bleeding during the weeks that you are on active birth control, is normal. Do not stop taking the pill, keep going, this is normal and should clear up within 3 cycles.
You stopped your birth control about a 2 weeks ago and you started bleeding the other day is that normal?
you should talk to your health care practitioner.
Is it normal for your period to last longer than usual if you started taking birth control on the first day of your period?
Yes, sometmes when you start birth control you will have break through bleeding and it can tie in with your period since you started the pill during your period.
