Hi,
Thank you for asking. I understand your concern.
Oral contraceptives are known to cause menstrual changes/irregulatities../some times skipping or forgetting to take pill can induce such bleeding.
In such situation you should have good genital hygiene & stick to the contraceptive regieme..as advised by doctor.
In case thebleeding does not stop after 5 more days consult prescribing doctor.
Thanks.
