And breakthrough bleeding is a common side effect of the pill, and isn't associated with lower effectiveness. Also, it should be noted that the pill is designed to prevent pregnancy: that's what it's for and is designed to work to do. For some people, it also had a side benefit of wanted menstrual changes, but if and when those don't happen, that's not actually the pill not working as advertised, or any evidence it's not doing what it's designed to do which is, again, to prevent pregnancy. (If anything, because it's a side effect, it's evidence the pill is being metabolized.) If she's having the health issues she is, it'd be sound for her to see her doctor, just to make sure she's okay, period. In the meantime, are you backing up with condoms? If not, that's a great and easy thing you can do if you're concerned about unwanted pregnancy. [/QB][/QUOTE]
