I have been on the pill for at lease four years. I recently skipped two months of the placibo pills and had no problems. Before that i would some time bleed the week before the placibo pill and then a bit on the fakes. I didnt bleed the month after skipping even though i took the fake pills. and now im still taking the real pills and having the whole period thing. next week is the placibo pills. if any one has any ideas about why this may be happening i would appriciate hearing them. I take the pill at the same time every day and have never forgoten one. thanks

I'd say in this case you should probably keep taking your pills and contact your doctor. It might be nothing, but you want to be sure! It's not the typical pattern, for sure, but there may be some good reason as to why you're bleeding now. Good luck, I hope everything goes okay!
