I have recently gone back on the pill after 6 months of it. I have been bleeding now for a week which isnt normal. I have had a pullop on my overies before, I did have it removed but they didn get it all. Could it be the pullop returning or is the pill not agreeing with me?
Hello, and I hope I can help you today. Bleeding when you are not supposed to have your period is called breakthrough bleeding and is common when you start taking birth control pills until your system is used to it.  The bleeding usually stops by the third month back on the pill.  Taking the pill close to the same time every day will help to minimize the bleeding. It is unusual to have a polyp on your ovary.  Many people have cysts on their ovaries, so it is more likely to be a cyst if you had ovarian surgery in the past. Either way, a cyst on your ovary would not cause vaginal bleeding. The bleeding itself is not dangerous or harmful, but it is likely just a side effect of the pill. If the bleeding continues after two more menstrual cycles, you may want to talk to your healthcare provider about trying a different brand of birth control. I hope I was able to adequately answer your question today and that this information was helpful. Best wishes,
