Dear member,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
If you have missed your pills (more than 1) then there is a risk of pregnancy. also as theses are hormonal pills there is the loss of hormonal support to the uterus. so there will be spotting or prolonged bleeding. Kindly do a blood test for pregnancy. if negative then consider taking tab pause -mf one tab thrice a day for 5days to stop the bleeding meanwhile continue the pills.
Thanks.
