Starting birth control can give you breakthrough bleeding... It's not necessarily youre period, but most likely just a side effect of starting the bc. It can last for a few months. Is it like your normal period? 
yes it is exactly, don't mean to be gross but the same color/flow and everything. And I've been on the BC for a good 7 months now. This has never happened before. I thought it was because I missed the one pill but it was only for 8-10 hours, that shouldn't start my period should it?
