Breakthrough bleeding is the most common side effect of the minipill. The pattern of unscheduled bleeding is also more unpredictable with the minipill than with the combined birth control pill. It’s more likely to happen if you don’t take the pill at the same time every day. Missing your pill by just 3 hours significantly increases your risk for bleeding, as well as your risk for unplanned pregnancy.

If you need further advice speak to the person who prescribed this for you.
