    Default Why am I getting break thru bleeding

    I have been taking levlen ed for many many years - about 10 most of which I have been taking it continuously to avoid getting my period.
    I have never had trouble with break thru bleeding but lately I have started getting menstrual blood breaking thru quite regularly. This is the second time in as many weeks and today I had slight cramps.

    Any ideas on what could be causing this?

    Could it be an increase in exercise? I have hired a personal trainer who has been working me pretty hard.

    I started getting break thru bleeding when my low-dose bc became too low of a dose. Go figure. It had actually worked nicely for several years before that. Doc switched me to a different brand and everything was fine again.

    When I was on the pill I took a couple months back to back and had some spotting. I understand this is somewhat common when taking the pills straight through without having a period. I don't know if exercise would cause it because those that are more athletic tend not to have periods at all.
