A member asked:
Can you tell me when i skip my period on birth control would i still bleed?

Depends: Usually when a person skips a period on birth control it is because they are taking the pills continuously with no placebo pills. When taking pills this way some people have break through bleeding that occurs and others have no bleeding at all.
