Will My Period Stop Once I Start Taking Birth Control Pills?

I started taking birth control about two months ago. After a while I was less punctual about taking pills as they made me nauseous. I missed about 5 days of pills and I started my period. How long should it last and will it stop if I start taking the pills again?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your current bleeding is due to withdrawal bleeding from stoppage of birth control pills.
Usually this kind of bleeding last for 2-3 days only.
So wait for 2-3 days.
If you start taking birth control pills again then your bleeding will stop.
So you can restart birth control pills.
And it is better not to forget these pills and take them regularly at fix time for better contraceptive effect.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
