Hello,
Heavy bleeding that you re having is breakthrough bleeding. You should never miss or skip birth control pills. Your symptoms are due to hormonal imbalance. No worries, continue to take the BC pills regularly. If you had unprotected intercourse while you missed the pills, take progestin-only pills within 72 hours of unprotected sex. You can also take non-Hormonal progestin pills (ELLA) within 120 hours of unprotected sex. Take Acetaminophen(Tylenol) for headache. Stay well hydrated & take adequate sleep.
Take care.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
