A member asked:
Is it bad if you skip the last pill in your birth control pack, if you started to spot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely a problem: it would rarely result in a problem. it can depend on what bcp it is. in general it is not a good adea to skip a pill. usually spotting is not benefited from your approach.
