Hi,
Thanks for the query.

The bleeding you got could be withdrawal bleeding due to stopping of the novelon pills.
As you didn't use the tablets regularly complete protection form pregnancy cannot be expected now.
You can continue to the tablets now to control the bleeding. You take two tablets a day till the bleeding stops and then continue one tablet a day. But you have to use additional method of contraception during these days.
You take the pills after food that can decrease the nausea to some extent, if needed you can use antacids.
After completion of the pills within one week you will get withdrawal bleeding. During that time you consult your doctor and decide regarding continuation of pills or changing the method of contraception.
Usually short term usage of contraceptive pills won't effect the fertility.

Hi,

You can choose any of the method as you do not want contraception now.
In comparison, second method is better as you can avoid bleeding for longer period.
So,
You take new pack, take one tablet today.
From tomorrow take two tablets, one in the morning and one in the night.
You have to take like this till the bleeding stops.
Then you can continue once a day.
You have to take the tablets at same time daily to prevent break through bleeding.
After completion of pack you will have one week gap period. After that you can start new pack if you want.
Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.

Hi,

With progress of time the side effects of the pill will decrease.
So for few days you can take antacid and anti-emetic or pyridoxin tablet before food and take novelon pill after food that can decrease nausea and vomitings to some extent.
If you stop the pills in the middle you will get withdrawal bleeding.
So better to complete this pack. After that you can continue with barrier methods like condoms.
As you are of young age usage of oc pills for one to two years may not cause any affect on fertility.
If any problem occurs during the usage of condom you can take i pill. But there should be at least two months gap between two i pills.
If you use any of the pills as per schedule for limited period usually they won't cause any harm to fertility.

Wish you Good Health, If you are satisfied with my response please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
