mid cycle bleeding... 2nd month on BCP?

I'm on my 2nd month of BCP.  I started right after I got the ok from my doctor at my 6 week PP visit.  About 2 weeks in, I started bleeding and it was like a reguar period, lasted about 7 days.  Then I bled again when I was supposed to at the end of the pack.  Now I'm in the beginning of my 2nd week and I'm bleeding again!  Right now it's only when I wipe (sorry tmi) but I feel a little crampy - not nearly bad enough to take advil.  So I'm basically getting a period every 2 weeks... should I call my doctor?  I have been on this pill for 10 + years (minus when we were TTC and pregnant of course) and never had ANY issues... in fact I barely ever had a period, and I never had any spotting, even when I first started.  I feel like my hormones are still out of wack and this is part of the reason I'm having problems losing weight?  The 2 times I stopped taking BCP to TTC, I gained about 5 lbs.  When I went back on after having DD#1 my weight loss sped up a bit... not so much this time...

    I totally know how you feel. I've been on BCPs for 3-4 months and the past two cycles, I've had a lot of breakthrough bleeding/spoting/whatever you want to call it lol.  Called my OB yesterday because I have seriously been spotting for 2 weeks straight...started placebos on Sunday, so now it's a little heavier, and the nurse said to wait ANOTHER cycle to see what happens...then she'll set me up to come in.

    I would call your OB and see what they say.  Might need to switch to a different pill.
