Brief Answer:
Continue with the pills.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Changing the pill can cause such disturbance. The bleeding will gradually stop on its own. Stopping the pill will aggravate the bleeding further. It is best to skip the sugar pills and continue with the next pack and see if it stops gradually.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Hi there
Thanks for reply. What do you mean by sugar pills? They all look the same?
What about doubling up on pills? Someone suggested this?
So do i just give it time?

Brief Answer:
Avoid pill free period.

Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The days of sugar pill are same as the seven day pill free period. You can continue with the next pack as this pack finishes. Doubling up the pills can stop the bleeding but the bleeding will re start as soon as you decrease the dose. So it is better to wait and see if bleeding stops gradually.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
