∙ 14y agoI have been on the same pill for about 2 years, and have been taking it continuously for the past 3 months, not bothering to have a period week. When I first started taking it, my doctor told me it was fine to do that. Recently, when starting a new pack, I got my period anyways. Why is this? I am worried that my body is no longer "responding" to the pill in the way that it should...

∙ 11y agoYou start taking the pill in the first days of your cycle, preferably day one or day two of your period. Break through bleeding in the first couple months of using the pill is not unusual but if it continues best to call your doctor.
If you decide to stop using BCP, finish the pack you are taking and you will probably have a period within two weeks of being off the pill completely.
