    Hi Karen, amy breakthrough bleeding should be investigated.  If you're on the mini pill, then this is quite normal but if it's the other type, then it's not so normal.

    Either way, a trip to your GP should put your mind at rest.  Take care x

    Thank you Gen... i keep thinking its my body telling me i need to have the break you actually should have.. we have a nurse where i work so im going to speak to her see what she thinks... then after that pay my Doc a visit i think... I have at this moment in time stopped taking my pill as of  yesterday so i could have my break and see if this is the problem and hope it stops but if not then there seems to be something else?

    i get the pains before it happens aswel which makes me think it is that? but god knows

      Hi Karen, I stopped taking the mini pill a couple of weeks ago because I've been on it, and the other type, for over twenty years.  I had a normal period last week and it felt better to be 'normal' again.

      Get your GP to give you a check over, always better to be safe, it may well be that there's a better alternative for you x
