Is Light Bleeding While On Jolessa Birth Control Pills Normal?

I am on Jolessa birth control and I am in my sixth month of it. I am 4 weeks away from the white pills and have been bleeding for a little over week. It started out light, and getting a little bit heavier. I am just wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned.

Hi,
I understand your concern.
Jolessa pill is a combined hormone contraceptive- which needs to be very regularly at same time of the day.
-Jolessa is known to cause spotting even with regular intake of pills.Don't stop pill even if there is bleeding. Mostly bleeding stops on it's own. But if the bleeding continues for more than 7 days/ it is heavy- you should consult your doctor ( for excluding other causes of bleeding/ treat the condition)
-History of irregular consumption/ dropping a dose is likely to cause bleeding.
Thanks.
