I needed to delay my period so I skipped
the placebo pills and started onto a new
pack...I read breakthrough bleeding can be
a side effect from doing this and I am now
on my 2nd week of pills and started
bleeding...Should I continue taking the
pills and hope that the next time I take
placebos I will get a period again?
Should I be concerned about the
effectivness of the birth control now?
Any help would be appreciated...Thanks

I would still keep taking the pills as
normal and you should be protected. I
skipped the placebo pills once to not have
my period and it worked out fine for me.
I had talked to my doctor first, and she
said I may experience breakthrough
bleeding from doing that, but luckily I
didn't. It probably just messed up your
system a little bit, so your period may be
off. But I would continue as normal and
wait to see what happens next month! Hope
this helps!
