You should continue to take the Birth Control pill even if you experience breakthrough bleeding. Stopping the pill is more likely to make the bleeding worse instead of better, and stopping will end your pregnancy protection. If the bleeding is troublesome or associated with other symptoms such as painful urination, painful sex, pelvic pain, or abnormal vaginal discharge, see your health care provider.

Do you continue to take the active pill if on the third week you took a period or do you go on the sugar pill?
You should continue to take your birth control pills as scheduled regardless of bleeding.
What if I missed 2 birth control pills and have bleeding?
The bleeding is caused by missing the birth control pills and is known as break through bleeding. If you are sexually active you will need to take the morning after pill to prevent pregnancy from occurring. Meanwhile, use a back up method of protection for 14 days to prevent pregnancy from occurring and continue taking birth control daily as normal.
If you get your period during the active pills should you continue the pill as scheduled?
You should continue taking the pills as scheduled regardless of bleeding. Unscheduled bleeding is common in the first three months of use. Stopping the pill every time you have bleeding will only prolong this "breaking in" period. If the bleeding is troublesome, lasts longer than three months, or is accompanied by pain or abnormal vaginal discharge, contact your health care provider.

Should you continue taking birth control as normal if you get your period while still taking the active pills and finish your period before you take the sugar pills?

Can I take my birth control pills every other day to delay my period I am on vacation for a month and am not sexually active but I don't want to get my period now?
Taking the pill every other day is most likely going to cause breakthrough bleeding. You should ask your doctor about skipping the "inactive" sugar pills and starting the new packet, the day after finishing the last active pill. This is the way pills are taken to delay your period and will also continue to prevent pregnancy should you become sexually active.
Do you take birth control while you are on your period?

When your on birth control What is the longest without your period?
If you're using hormonal birth control you don't menstruate at all - hormonal birth control works by preventing ovulation; no ovulation = no menstruation - the bleeding women get on hormonal birth control such as the pill is withdrawal bleeding caused by the drop in hormones when going from your active to inactive pills. You should get a withdrawal bleed every 21 days, during the first three months on the pill it's normal for bleeding patterns to be irregular so you may not get a withdrawal bleed - if this continues over three months you should talk to your doctor as you may need a different dosage.

Should you start your new pack the day you end your period?
You should start your new pack of birth control pills on schedule, regardless of bleeding. If you want to start early, on the day your period ends, that's fine. Do not go more than seven days without taking an active birth control pill.
Should you go back on birth control?
Yes, if you are sexually active.
