Myth : It might slow in warm water but don't count on it stopping like when swimming in a pool or at the beAch or you will be very embarrassed without protection

Called my dr and she said to continue the pills. I thought the bleeding was stopping but it came back. Should I still take the pills or stop to have a regular period and start a new pack, so I can get back on a regular schedule.
