Is it normal to have a bleed every 2 weeks on the mini pill

[Emsky]

Depends how long you've been on it? I had to come off it in the past as I had a period for 10 weeks straight so just didn't work for me

Been on it 6 months but had a period every 2 weeks did u get pain when u had period how can tell from period or breakthrough bleed

[Emsky in reply to LISaprag]

My periods where the worst pain ever ended up in a and e unable to walk at one point, a breakthrough one is usually really light flow and brownish in colour no cramps either only last a day or 2, the fact its been 6 months I would mention it and they can maybe try another pill?

I always got brown blood when had period too

I think you should discuss it with your doctor.

The "period" you get on the pill is actually a withdrawal bleed, which happens because you stop taking the hormones. It's not normal to get a withdrawal bleed while still taking the hormones, so I'd want the doctor to double check everything is ok.
