on birth control pill but bleeding?

i take the pill every 21 days, so i don't have a period. i tried it once and now i'm having small drops of blood or brown blood every single day. it's annoying, cause you're supposed to have no period at all if you are constantly on the pill! is it because i'm messing with my circle?

    This is exactly what happened to me, Firstly you need to wait til your period. Then if it is heavier than normal and painful go to the doctors and ask for a lower dose pill. Yaz works for me and i have to exact samething as you. Could also be the time you take it, i had to change the time i took it. So now i take it at night so it doesn't have to compete with food during the day and i take it before bed so roughly (10pm)

    I hope i helped. You just need to change pills.

    Source(s): btw, anyone that says it takes time for your body to adjust isn't right, this shouldn't be happening all month. You need to change pill to a lower or higher dose.

    Since your not allowing your body that 7 day break from the pill, then your period doesnt have a chance to come down. So youre more likely to have breakthrough bleeding while on the active days of the pill. You shouldn't do this every cycle, take your placebo pills to regulate yourself

    Sometimes some contraceptive pills don't work as well. They protect you but can or will make you bleed. So just see your Doctor and change your pill.
