dose. i just started and have been
bleeding for over a week .. but i just
finished my second row of pills . i kno
since i just started break thru bleeding
is common but is this too long ? if i
continue bleeding all throught my next
week of pills then its time for the
placebo pills and that means im suppose to
get my period ... i dont want to be

Unfortunately, it is normal.
When you first begin taking the pill, you
can have one full cycle of irregular
bleeding, even into your placebo week.
Keep taking your pills as usual, even your
placebo week, your body will balance out.

Yeah, as long as it's regular period
strength bleeding or less, you just have
to wait. If it is really heavy and lasts
that long you should see a doc because you
don't want to be losing too much blood.
