A member asked:

Withdrawal bleeding from stopping my junel fe pills which led to bleeding for 5 days, mean that i can possibly get preg waiting for next period or ov?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Stopping your pills has led to the withdrawal period. So if you haven't restarted your new pill pack, then you are susceptible to getting pregnant going forward. You should use another form of birth control (condoms) until you see your doctor next.
