I have been on the pill for four years and have never had any breakthrough bleeding. I have also read that the longer you are on the pill the more it is effective.

As previous anonymous said, the longer you are on Birth Control the more the effectiveness, provided you take your pills as scheduled. Breakthrough bleeding after years of use could mean that you might need to change the pill again because it may not be right for your system anymore. Contrary to what most people think, breakthrough bleeding is not an indication that the pill is any less effective. Good luck.

This could be because you've experienced break through bleeding or that you are pregnant. Its most likely break through bleeding though if you haven't missed any pills. Break through bleeding usually occurs because the pills aren't working properly or the hormone dosage isn't high enough for you. See your doctor about increasing the dosage or starting a different BCP.
