Hello
yes, it's a beakthrough bleeding after sopped OC pills. Breakthrough bleeding mainly cause due to decreased level of progesteron. So never miss tablets, you have to continue it daily irrespective of period or days after gynaecologist consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care.
