Birth control

So I’m on birth control. I’ve been on it a year. But I seem to have this issues and was wondering does anyone else have this issues or know what it is. So my doctor said I should take 3 packs so 21,21,21 then go on break. I’m okay with taken the first pack of 21 out of 3 but the second pack I’m fine the first week n half then the issues come in every second and half I always have blood idk if it’s breakthrough bleeding or what but it’s frustrating. Idk why it always happens around 2nd packet anyone else have this issues. I end up having my break early and restart after words. Idk

I would suggest that you speak with your GP again about your issues with using the contraceptive pill as it should be settled down by now and controlling everything.

It's sounds like you having breakthrough blood around the time when you would probably be having your periods which is fine as it is how your body works, basically telling you that although you not having your usual periods you are still having breakthrough blood each month ??? You normally have some blood each month still and working on what you said about the amount of tablets you take before it happens then it seems to just be your body telling you that your periods are here but not in the usual way.....

Follow your doctor's recommendation on how many to take before having a break for a week. If you are unhappy about it then get a appointment with your GP and discuss it with them.
