Yes, that would be what's considered breakthrough bleeding, which can happen for the first several months as your body gets used to the hormones, since these contain synthetic ones.
And as to whether or not you will have a period while taking them, there is actually no way for anyone to know. The only thing you can do is try it and see. It does work for some women, but since these are synthetic hormones as I said, it does affect your natural hormone balance, so it doesn't work that way for every woman that takes them.
Did your doctor explain the risks and possible side effects?
There is a risk of blood clots with these, more so for women over 40 that smoke, but it may also happen in younger women. You may also experience other side effects, such as nausea, headache and weight gain.
