Ok so I had sex on friday night, and I
missed a pill on wednesday so I doubled up

friday night pill until 5:00am on saturday
monring. I normally take my pills in the
evening, like 10 or 11ish. Ok, so I
shouldn't start my period until next

Hun your are most likely in the clear.
The bleeding you got is most likely
breakthrough bleeding. When I use to
take birth control and I would miss a pill
within 24hrs I would have breakthrough
bleeding. But if you are concerned just
use a backup method for a week.

Thank you for responding. I have another
question though, so I started 10 days
early, but I am not bleeding very much at
all. It only takes 1 tampon a day, is
this still ok. It is not like my normal
period at all. Will I continue to bleed
for 2 weeks.

It could be different for everyone, most
likely it will just continue to taper off
in a couple days. But there still is a
chance you may spot untill your next
cycle. Also how long have you been on
bc? If you haven't been on it long it
may be spotting from starting it, it takes
a few months for your body to adjust to
the hormones in the pills.

I have been on bc for about 6 years now.
One of my friends told me that if you are
on the same bc for more than 10 years it
is unhealthy, is this true. I have been
on the same one until about 4 months ago I
switched to the generic brand. I got
really sick over the weekend and went to
the Dr. I am not pregnant, so that is
good. Got a bad case of the flu with my
eyes and everything, I wasn't looking
good.
