You are on brithcontrol but you have been bleeding bright red for 23 days?

If you are using birth control pills and have been bleeding bright red for 23 days, it is important to speak with your doctor as soon as possible. This is not normal and may be a sign of an underlying medical condition.

Some possible causes of breakthrough bleeding (bleeding between periods) while on birth control pills include:

Improper pill usage: If you have missed taking your birth control pills on time or have not taken them consistently, this can cause breakthrough bleeding.

Hormonal imbalance: Birth control pills work by regulating the levels of certain hormones in the body to prevent ovulation and thickening of the uterine lining. An imbalance in these hormones can cause breakthrough bleeding.

Underlying medical conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as thyroid problems, uterine fibroids, or infections, can also cause breakthrough bleeding while on birth control pills.

Medication interactions: Some medications, such as antibiotics, antidepressants, and anti-seizure medications, can interfere with the effectiveness of birth control pills and cause breakthrough bleeding.

Pregnancy: If you are experiencing breakthrough bleeding and are concerned that you may be pregnant, it is important to take a pregnancy test to rule out this possibility.

It is important to consult with your doctor to determine the cause of your breakthrough bleeding and to receive the appropriate treatment. Your doctor may recommend adjusting the dose or type of birth control pill you are taking, conducting further tests to check for underlying medical conditions, or providing other treatments to manage the bleeding.
