Q: Safe on Solia ?

I started my first pack of Solia last month, breakthrough bled all month, and when it came time for my period while I was taking the sugar pill it kept on breakthrough bleeding and came only one day really heavy. Went to the doctor and she gave me a preg. test and it came out neg, and she said if the first week of the second pack (that's now) causes and breakthrough bleeding, then we have to change. It's been 2 days into the second pack, and no bleeding... how safe am I to have sex? Would you? I was thinking of having it within this week.

You were safe to have sex after your first week on Solia, even though you were bleeding. So of course you're safe now! Breakthrough bleeding is extremely common on hormonal birth control. Your first month was typical. It's also common to stop breakthrough bleeding after the first sugar week. You are safe during that week, too.

Yes, I would have sex now.
