If you stopped taking your birth control pills in the middle of your cycle and started bleeding brown blood out of the blue Is this normal?
Yes, that happens to many women. It's called withdrawal bleeding and it happens because there is a sudden drop in the amount of hormones in your system (its the same response your body has when you take the week of sugar pills in the BC pack).
What if you still have period while taking next pack of birth control?
that is quite common. i had this problem for months because my birth control was ultra low dose (yaz). i switched to a regular low dose (yasmin) and the bleeding stopped and went back to a normal cycle. if you just started taking BC, keep doing it. if after three months the bleeding is still frequent, talk to your doctor. you may need a higher dose.
Should you start a new 28 day pack if your period started while taking the sugar pills?
It's normal for bleeding to start during the sugar pills. You should take your new pack on schedule regardless of bleeding.
If your period comes and you are not finished with a pill cycle should you finish the pill pack as usual?
Yes, continue taking your pills as scheduled regardless of any bleeding.
If planning to go off the pill to get pregnant can you go off it anytime or should you wait until the pack is done at the end of the month?
I SUGGEST YOU WAIT TILL THE PACK IS FINISH CAUSE THIS MAY CAUSE SPOTTING AND BLEEDING...WHEN I WAS ON THE PILL I STOPPED USING IT AND I STARTED BLEEDING SO I SUGGEST YOU FINISH YOUR PACK AND TRY GETTING PREGNANT BUT WHILE YOUR ON THE PILL PLEASE DONT TRY GETTING PREGNANT CAUSE SOME PEOPLE DO THAT AND THATS HARMFUL TO THE BABY...THE PILLS ARE USED TO PREVENT PREGNANCY SO DONT TRY AND GET PREGNANT WHILE ON THE PILL...BEST OF LUCK TO YOU
What if you already started trying to double up on the pills you missed and still have one extra pill after taking 2 pills for next 2 days then started period?
When do you start a new pack of birth control pills if you stopped in the middle of the previous pack and missed 3 pills then started period?
I started the pill 16 days ago and have been bleeding ever since for about 15 days off and on. I started the pack 2 weeks after my period started. Am I still adjusting to the pill?
yea I'm on my second month of birth control and i was bleeding the whole first month. I'm on my second week now and it's fine
Do you use birth control pills while your on your minstrel cycle?
Well yeah. If you are on birth control, when you have your "period" or bleeding, you continue with the sugar pills until it is time for a new pack. But if you have not started using birth control yet you wait until the Sunday after your period and then take your first pill, this is called "the Sunday start"
Your period started a day after you started your new pack of pills while trying to skip your period for the month Should you keep taking the new pack anyway?
YES! Continue with the active pills, stopping after you have begun a new pack is not the answer!What you are experiencing is break through bleeding. If you did not take any placebo pills, but went right to the new packet of active pills - you cannot be experiencing withdrawal bleeding - which is associated with the 7 days of inactive pills. This bleeding will more than likely only last a couple days.Breakthrough bleeding is most common in the first 3 to 6 months, if you continue to have breakthrough bleeding consult with your OB/GYN.If you are taking mini-pills (AKA POP or *"Progestin only Pills") call your provider as break through bleeding can mean you are ovulating.*generic name: levonorgestrel
If you stop taking Yaz 5 days into the pack also 5 days after start of normal menstruation and heavy withdrawal bleeding starts how long does the bleeding continue?
This is happening to me right now... so far 7 days, but it is not lightening up. I missed 2 pills and re-started my period 6 days into my new pack. I am told that heavy bleeding could last up to two weeks.
Can you still skip your period if you start a new pack three days after starting the sugar pills?
It might work, or you might have some unscheduled spotting or bleeding (which could have happened even if you'd started the new pack when the first sugar pill was due).
Does stopping your birth control in the middle of a pack make your period kick in. I stopped taking them 1 week in and my period has started again only after 12 days could that be why?
Hormonal birth control pills work by suppressing your menstrual cycle so that you no longer ovulate, as you no longer ovulate it means that you no longer menstruate - the bleeding you get while on the pill is not menstruation, it is a withdrawal bleed caused by the drop in hormones when you go from active to inactive pills. Thus if you stop taking the pill the drop in hormones will have the same effect; a withdrawal bleed.
