This can be a combo of the breast feeding and the birth control pill.
I'd recommend to my patients to watch it over the next few months and
evaluate after that.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.

Is this common for this birth control? This birth control made me have my period and has kept me regular. But should it last so long and be so light? Is it normal?
