Just started the pill and bleeding?

I have just recently started the pill for the first time ever to help ease heavy and painful periods. I took the pill on the first day of my period as instructed and taken it everyday since then, however i have been bleeding slightly ever since i took the pill for about 2 1/2 weeks now. Why am i bleeding??

You can still have irregular bleeding while on birth control. It is normal to have a little bleeding. It may last for a while, or it may go away quickly. It varies from person to person. I don't know exactly why it happens, but I can tell you with certainty that it is normal.
