A member asked:
I shortened my placebo week by taking my active pill two days early to stop my bleeding, but i'm still bleeding and it should have stopped by now. what should i do? are the pills still as effective?

Still effective: If you did not stop you pills when you had the abnormal period, it should still be effective. The abnormal period is just because the change it what your body is used to. It should correct itself next cycle.
