I posted this question a few days ago, but im pretty sure it didnt make much sence at all. So,here it is again in more detail.
I have never been good at all about remembering to take my bc pills, so I had stoped takeing them, off and on sence I got them last year and my peroid has allways stayed basicly regular.Receantly I had been off of my pills for about 3 months. This month I decided I would try to go back on them so I started back after the last day of my peroid which was the 11th of this month. I remembered to take 2 pills then I compleatly forgot about them for a few days, do i just desided to try back next month ..ne way..on the 22nd (only 8 days after my last peroid) of this month I started haveing some sotrt of spoting/bleading It was realy strange it was like brown but also had dark red and some bright red and some thick muckus along with it. I dont know if this is due to the pills or not. Im thinking it could also be due to a cyst?? Maybe it popped or something?? but the bleading has gone on for like 3 days now and Im very confused.
Thank you in advance for any advice you may have.

My suggestion to you is to try a different form of birth control. The pill is obviously not working for you. Have you thought about the patch or ring? The patch is once a week and the ring is once a month.
But, if you want to stick with the pill, wait until your next period to start again. It sounds like your spotting is from taking 2 days of pills and then stopping. Your body's just a bit confused right now!
Have you been on the birth control board? There's a ton of information over there. Here's the link:
