Hello,
It is not unusual to have breakthrough bleeding after you stop taking the combined birth control pill as the hormone levels drop to facilitate bleeding.
So there is nothing to worry. Kindly consult your gynec only in case the bleeding persists.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
