It seems unlikely that the Birth Control pill is the cause of your breakthrough bleeding, although LoEstrin and Ortho Tricyclen Lo certainly aren't the typical choices for bleeding control in a woman with breakthrough bleeding. Talk with your health care provider about ruling out other causes of bleeding. Be sure to keep a good record for a few months noting exactly what days you have bleeding, where you were in the pill cycle when you bled, and whether you recently had intercourse. This information can help guide you and your health care provider to a possible fix.

Breakthrough bleeding can be a side effect that can last up to 3 months or more.

Consistent breakthrough bleeding can be a sign that you may need a higher dosage of birth control pills. I have learned from physicians that increasing the dosage of the birth control helps regulate your menstrual cycle and eliminates breakthrough bleeding and therefore being more effectively protected from pregnancy.

When you start birth control it is not unlikely to have spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that can last up to 3 months or longer. You should not stop taking your birth control because you will actually mess up your cycle and when you will have your period. You will also experience more spotting or breakthrough bleeding if you stop now. The spotting will go away,however, you should visit your physician to consider changing the dosage of birth control. Spotting and breakthrough bleeding usually stops when switched to a higher dosage of birth control.
