A member asked:
I've been on the pill for 6 months now but started bleeding heavy 12 days ago. experiencing bad cramps. should i stop taking my pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The cycle can vary from month to month. There would be no reason to stop the pill. The periods would likely be heavier when not taking the pill for the majority of women.
