Q: bleeding after skipping period

hey!

so I'm on tricyclen lo and 2 weeks ago it was my grad and I was in a white dress so I didn't want to have my period so I took the 21 days, then started a new pack so I would miss my period, and it worked, but the week after I missed one pill when I was at work so I took it the next day and then I had light spotting and I've had it for 5 days now and it keeps getting a little more, enough to wear a tampon, but not heavy or anything, but i wasn't supposed to have my period til next week on wednesday.

I read the instructions of my pill and they said to continue taking the pill even if I have bleeding in between periods, but does it make a difference that I skipped it?

No, it makes no difference.

The reason WHY you are bleeding is because your body is trying to figure everything out.

ALMOST ALL women who try and skip a period will have bleeding and spotting between periods.

It takes a few months for you to completely skip a period and not have any bleeding...
