Yes it can cause spotting which would be classed as a mild withdrawal bleed and it also puts you at risk of pregnancy. You need to use a condom for 4 weeks
After taking your three weeks of active pills, just skip the sugar pills in the last row and go directly into a new pack. You take 6 rows of active pills (all the active pills from 2 packs) and skip the period you would have gotten on the sugar pills
Yes. It's hard to imagine why you would double the dose for five days, but doing so could cause spotting.
It's possible. Spotting can also be a result of birth control pills as well as pregnancy.
If you haven't missed pills, breakthrough bleeding is not a sign of decreased effectiveness. If it continues, or is troublesome, contact your healthcare provider for advice specific to your situation.
No, pills do not cause pregnancy. Sex causes pregnancy.
Inconvenient, but not dangerous. It's the risk you take when you try to skip your period. It works for some women, and not for others.
Its possible but pretty unlikely. If you miss any pills then follow the instructions (which are normally to continue as if you hadn't missed any pills).
Hi, If you have not missed any pills then this may indicate pregnancy. Perform a pregnancy test.
Yes this is caused by taking two pills a day. Instead of taking two pills a day, ask your GYNO to change your birth control to a higher doseage one and this should sort out the spotting.
Yes, but it is not recommended. If you do decide to skip your birth control for a month be sure to use a back-up method such as condoms, to prevent pregnancy because all the hormones from the birth control will be depleted from your system. Skipping your birth control may also cause unwanted side effects as well, such as: late or irregular periods, or spotting or breakthrough bleeding. When you do begin taking you birth control again, be sure to wait at least 2 months before you have unprotected sex to prevent pregnancy. It is not good to skip your birth control or take frequent breaks either. If you do find that the pill is not for you, you should consult your doctor to find a method that is better for you.
Oh, dude, taking 2 pills every 48 hours means you pop those bad boys every other day. So, like, Monday, skip Tuesday, take them Wednesday, skip Thursday... you get the idea. Just make sure not to mix them up with your gummy vitamins, unless you're into that sort of thing.
well it depends, if your pack is mostly pink pills then you should not have your period during this time.. however sometimes you may have some spotting, this is normal... if the pink pills are the lesser amount in your pack then those are you sugar pills.. if you just started taking the pills it may take 2-3 months until you are regular and get your period during them
