Hi. I ve been taking my birth control for 3 months now. I decided to skip my period a couple weeks ago and for a week now I ve been bleeding. I know you can have break through bleeding but why is it lasting so long? And it s dark. And I woke up this morning and it was red like I m starting my actual period... I m still taking the active pills. I have a week before I have to take my inactive pills. So should I skip the inactive pills and go to my next pack or have another period..? I don t know why I ve been bleeding for so long.

What Causes Bleeding While Taking Active Pills?
Hello, As of now, you can take drugs like tranexamic acid to control bleeding. If bleeding persists better to consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Regards, Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
