Yes it is normal to have breakthrough bleeding while on the pill and taking predisone. Cortosteroids, anti-fungals, and antibiotics all affect the Birth Control's effectiveness. You should use a back-up method if on any of these for a minimum of two weeks after stopping the course of treatment and you are usually fine after a full cycle.

Usually no, sometimes you may experience a side effect from taking the pill which is called breakthrough bleeding.

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.
