I would say that your body is still getting used to the artificial hormones you are giving it. It bled only two days and then had a breakthrough bleeding because it hadn't finished. I would suggest that next time around your period will be normal. You usually have lighter periods while on the pill. If you are still having breakthroughs after three months, go back to your doctor and ask for a higher dosage pill and this should take care of it. Hello there. - You shouldn't have break through bleeding while on birth control hun. You only have break through bleeding when you stop taking Birth Control. Bleeding while on birth control can be caused by early pregnancy, break through Ovulation or because the doseage your on isn't high enough for you. I would see your doctor for a pregnancy blood test to rule out pregnancy. Take care.
