Hello,
Unexpected bleeding is a common side effect, especially in the first 6 months. In order to stop bleeding for your competition, I advise you to visit your doctor. He will prescribe you a combination of "combined oral contraceptive pills" and hemostatics.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
