Bleeding During the Pill
Posted: 05-12-06 17:12pm

Hi there,
i missed 2 pills of my birth control pill. This was a week ago and I have had my period since then. Like other people who asked this question it has also been "old blood". How long until my period goes away? Is there anything I can do to make it go away?

Brown blood, red blood etc... It is all normal..

Anytime you miss more than one you are at a great risk of bleeding, and it may continue through your next period and stop when you start your next new package of pills.

I usually take alesse in the morning, but 5 days ago I forgot, but took it later on in the evening when I remembed....It was still the same day so I figured it would be ok, but i've been bleeding since and last night I had the worst cramps ever, they were so bad I couldn't move...And today the bleeding is worse...I'm still taking the last week of my pills...Should I stop taking them?? Thanks to whoever replies.

Yes keep taking your pills! Or else you will compormise your protection!!!!

Any time you bleed on birth control keep taking the pill!!!!

It is normal to bleed when you miss pills, you just keep taking them and move on.
