I always found I bleed in between pill packets. I always have it a few months and if it carried on I went to the gp and I would try a different one.

Hey! Yeah I thought it was a little strange to be bleeding while taking the pill..I normally always stop after the 3 weeks and have a week off and that's normally when I would come on..But the last 2 months I've bled inbetween and at the end of the month..thank you for replying..seems I may need to go on another! I've been on thus one for about 8 months and only just started having trouble which is odd xx
