What Causes Vaginal Bleeding After Missing Two Dose Of Birth Control Pills?
Question: Hi, I missed two birth control pills and now I'm bleeding (period). My last cycle was 10 days ago. Should I just consider this bleeding placebo days, let this "mini period" take its course and restart a new package once the week is done or take a new package right away even I feel I'm bleeding?
Thank you
Thank you
Brief Answer:
hi
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome to HCM.
This is probably bleeding as seen in placebo days.
Anyway, f those were not placebo pills, I would suggest to start with new package right away and abstain from sex until one pill has been taken every day in a row for 7 days. In this case, you can be sure that there are no "unsafe" days, and your usual "birth control cycle" will stabilize within 1 month. WIsh you good health. Regards
