How are you? <br/> <br/> If you didn't start them the first or second day of your period, but engaged in intercourse on the days you did start them, then yes, there is a risk of pregnancy, because they take 7 days to become effective if you start them at any other time, as listed in the FDA medication information. <br/> <br/> However, since these are hormonal based contraceptives, it is most likely that taking a couple, then stopping them is what has caused the breakthrough bleeding. You've probably thrown your natural hormones off balance and it will take a little bit for things to balance back out. <br/> <br/> Have you consulted your doctor? There are others you can try, to see if they don't make you as sick. <br/> <br/> Typical side effects may include dizziness, headache, irritability, breakthrough bleeding and PMS like symptoms.
