BCP+testosterone and bleeding

Post by shelk »

Good Morning,
I have been on BCP + Testosterone for 9 days and have had bleeding for 3 days now, similar to my normal period. Is this normal? If so how long will this bleeding continue? Will this interfere with this current cycle.
Thank you!

It's very common to have breakthrough bleeding on the BCPs. There is no way to know how long it will last but it does not usually affect the outcome of the cycle. Just report it to your doctor in case there are any special considerations.

Good luck.
