What Are The Side Effects Of Cilest?
Question: hi am on birth control pills. They are called cilest. I used to take three phased birth control pills- but stopped because of pain during my period. My doctor suggested i should take two packs in a row without a break which i did. First month was fine- no spotting but here in the second pack i accidentially forgot 1 pill after 12 days but took it after 12 hours and then 2 days after i spotted some which i thought was normal. But now since monday i have been spotting a lot and more and more each day. I still have one more pill left. Is this because i didnt have my break this month or because of the missed pill or i it both? and what should i do now? continue with last pill or just have the break now.
Brief Answer:
A side effect of the pill.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Thanks for trusting us about your health care.
I can understand your concern here.
Cilest is a monophasic pills means hormone quantity is equal in each pill.
Spotting is usually a side effect of cilest if you used it for first time.
Yes, you are right spotting can be due to missed pill or it can be due to continuous use without break.
So do not take any stress and take your remaining one pill.
If you will not get withdrawal bleeding in your pill free period than its better to get a home urine pregnancy test should be done.( to be safer side).
Hope it is useful, feel free to ask more questions.
Regards
