Breakthrough bleeding

I've been reading some of the posts about BCPs and bleeding, more or less to make sure what I'm going through is normal. I've noticed that a few people have said that they have been on the pill for several months and suddenly are having break through bleeding or even bleeding that is like a regular menustrual cycle, while still on the pill. I have to say if it worries you or if the bleeding lasts more then 14 days you should call your doctor and let him/her know what's going on. I'm saying this from experience. Also if you are bleeding quite a bit make sure you watch your iron, you could become anemic.

I know what you mean, I have been google searching this "Break Through Bleeding" subject for the last week or so now. I am have been so torn up about what the pill has done to me I just keep reading on and on. I guess it is normal, from what I read, it seems a lot of people have it. It is just something I am not quite going to to tolerate though. :(
