I recently started taking Alesse, and am currently in the second week (about to start the third week) of my first pack of pills. I have taken this pill before with no negative side effects. This round, I noticed light breakthrough bleeding (enough to notice but not enough to wear a tampon) at the beginning of the second week (which I assumed would be the time when I would normally ovulate). I didn't think much of it, as it was my first month on the pills and my hormones were a bit out of whack, I'm sure. In the days since the first day of light bleeding, it has gotten heavier, to the point where I saturate a pantyliner.
Should I keep taking my pills, take the week off as normal, and then start another pack?
FYI, I AM using a back up birth control method.
Thanks!
