I recently just started back taking birth control pills after a year. I had my period on last period. I start taking the pills on Sunday, and I woke up this bleeding a little, is that normal?

Yes, a little bleeding can be perfectly normal as your body adjusts to the different hormone levels. However, if it gets heavy or continues for a week or two, contact your GP, as they may prefer to prescribe a slightly different pill.
You may also find that your regular period is lighter and that you have less abdominal cramping.

Yes, spotting in between periods while taking the pill is normal. Happens to me a lot. When I first started taking them, I freaked out because the only time in my life that I had ever spotted after a period is when I found that I was pregnant with my youngest daughter. My doctor had to assure me several times that some spotting can be expected and no, I wasn't pregnant.

Completely normal. It is not unheard of for your to spot (called "break through bleeding") for the first 3 or 4 months. If it continues to happen after this amount of time, you should see your doc and discuss other alternative pills - the chemical combo you're currently on might not be right for you.

This is called inter menstrual spotting and is normal. If u feel it disturbing in near future u may change to some high estrogen pills for one or two months, then switch to a low estrogen one , or u may change your birth control to IUCD. Be sure to use condom for extra protection for the first month of pills.

It is normal. If you continue to have trouble always tell your doctore but request the new pill called Seasonale. You only have a period 4 times a year. NICE!!

Yes, with all types of birth control.

I had two periods my first month taking my pills. I don't think that there is anything to worry about, it is your body adjusting to the new hormones.

Yes, it's normal.
You are adding synthetic hormones to your body, and it will go through an adjustment period. This can include spotting.

Spotting and light bleeding is common, but heavy bleeding and pain is not normal and should be dealt with. See your doctor if that happens.
Take care.

get an IUD... those chemicals in the pill will mess you up... the bleeding is normal yes and so is weight gain, pregnancy from missed pills, cysts on face (acne) and irritablility (blot clots in legs of smokers)
GET AN IUD INSTEAD
