A member asked:
Hw long does period last on birth control? and can you still have sex while having breakthrough bleeding? can you get pregnant during pill free days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding on Pills: Bleeding on the pills depends on how long you've been on the pill, the dose of medications in the pill, and some other factors. If you started the pill recently, the bleeding may last for 1-3 cycles but should stabilize if you continue the same pill. Still, you can get pregnant if your ovulation isn't completely suppressed. If you took the pills correctly, the pill free days should be safe.
