A member asked:
Can you get your period and symptoms of your period while taking the active pills in a birth control pack?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You may need to change pills types. Did you miss any? When you have bleeding like that it's usually breakthrough and typically means your estrogen dose isn't high enough. What pill band are you taking?
