Get a pad or tampon and move on. Some women can skip placebos without spotting, and some can't. You can try again in the future and see if it works for you. The spotting is not an indication that the pill isnt' working.

Should I be having a 2 week period while on the pill?

Usually no, sometimes you may experience a side effect from taking the pill which is called breakthrough bleeding. Breakthrough bleeding is a nuisance that can last up to a week, which in sense makes you think it is a regular period but actually its not. Most likely you started breakthrough bleeding during your last week of active pills and then you started your "real period" during the placebo week. If breakthrough bleeding still occurs after 3 months, it is recommended that you consult your physician, this may mean you need a higher dosage of birth control.

Im 5 weeks pregnanti had the implanon removed 10weeks ago and have been bleeding lightly on and off the last 24hours is this ok?

Bleeding in early pregnancy is common, but you should contact your health care provider for advice specific to your situation. The recent removal of the contraceptive implant does not cause bleeding in pregnancy.


Your period started a day after you started your new pack of pills while trying to skip your period for the month Should you keep taking the new pack anyway?

YES! Continue with the active pills, stopping after you have begun a new pack is not the answer!What you are experiencing is break through bleeding. If you did not take any placebo pills, but went right to the new packet of active pills - you cannot be experiencing withdrawal bleeding - which is associated with the 7 days of inactive pills. This bleeding will more than likely only last a couple days.Breakthrough bleeding is most common in the first 3 to 6 months, if you continue to have breakthrough bleeding consult with your OB/GYN.If you are taking mini-pills (AKA POP or *"Progestin only Pills") call your provider as break through bleeding can mean you are ovulating.*generic name: levonorgestrel


Should you start a new 28 day pack if your period started while taking the sugar pills?

It's normal for bleeding to start during the sugar pills. You should take your new pack on schedule regardless of bleeding.


Is it safe to take the placebo pills a week early to get this period earlier?

That would mean stopping your pills a week early, no that is not a good idea, you could ovulate and get pregnant. You would be better off skipping the placebo pills and going straight to the new pack, the day you should start the placebo - so you don't have breakthrough bleeding that month. (skip your period completely that cycle.)
