Hi moswaney04, welcome!

The pill should not cause you to miscarry. If, after your body has adjusted to the hormones in your pill, you begin to experience irregular bleeding any of a number of things might be the cause. Among them are: not taking your pills near the same time every day, Dieting that causes weight loss (burning fat releases estrogen that could throw your hormones off enough to cause bleeding) or taking more than 1,000mg of vitamin C per day. Do any of these things fit your situation? Let us know how you're doing, ok?

Good luck,

      Jill
