Hello,
Thank you for your query.
Yes you need to take another pill but also see your obgyn for the unexpected bleed in between cycles.
It could be due to the hormonal imbalance caused by the contraceptive pill but needs to be checked out.
I recommend :
-an obgyn consult
-a pelvic ultrasound
-blood tests (complete blood count, clotting profile, hormone tests- thyroid)
Based on these we can arrive at a diagnosis. Hope this helps.
Please consider a regular contraceptive.
Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
