What Causes Bleeding After Missing Birth Control Pill Dosage?
Hi, I m on the pill and I was supposed to start my period this Wensday today is Sunday. However I missed two pills and now I m bleeding like I m on my period. Does this mean I m going to have a second period? I took the pills when I remembered but by that time I already started bleeding.
Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Missing two oral contraceptive pills in a row can lead to withdrawal of the hormones from the body and hence withdrawal bleeding. I would suggest you to stop taking that pill of oral contraceptive pills and start a new pack from now onwards so that there is no second withdrawal bleeding in same month and the contraception is effectively maintained. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Dr Deepti Verma
