I started my first pack of Solia last
month, breakthrough bled all month, and
when it came time for my period while I
was taking the sugar pill it kept on
breakthrough bleeding and came only one
day really heavy. Went to the doctor and
she gave me a preg. test and it came out
neg, and she said if the first week of the
second pack (that's now) causes and
breakthrough bleeding, then we have to
change. It's been 2 days into the second
pack, and no bleeding... how safe am I to
have sex? Would you?

I copied this to the women's forum, you'll
get more help there when discussing birth
control

You are safe to have sex. You were after
the first week, regardless of the
bleeding.
The only reason the bleeding is a problem
is because you could be losing too much
blood and getting health problems because
of that.
Breakthrough bleeding is unfortunately a
pretty common side effect of birth control
and does NOT mean that it's not working.
You are still protected from pregnancy as
long as you are taking it correctly.

Isn't this a double post? It was answered
with more posts on the Birth Control
forum.

I found in men's sexual health (she put it
there by accident) and copied it here
without really thinking... .and then I saw
it was already on birth control...
