Period irregularity + BC= trouble..help
| Sun, 10-03-2004 - 1:30pm |
Last week, I missed my Thursday (Sept 23) pill (I take mine at 9pm), so I took it friday morning, I missed friday nights, so I took it at about 5am saturday morning, and I've been taking all of my pills normally since.
I started getting spotting on friday (Sept 24), and now my period's been going strong since then, 8 days...what do I do? It's never been longer than 5 days before...Whats going on?

Being late or missing pills will cause irregular bleeding which can continue for a while. You didn't say where you are with your pack but if I were you I'd continue to take my pills correctly as I normally would. When you get through the rest of the actives and placebos and begin a new pack the bleeding should stop if it hasn't already. You should also be using back-up for 7 days of correct pill usage after missing a pill. I hope your bleeding stops soon. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
