A member asked:
Took 3 packs of falmina continuously to skip withdrawal bleed. had my 7 day break, now on 4th active pill of new pack and still bleeding. help?

Follow up: Falmina is a low dose birth control pill, with low estrogenic, pro gestational and androgenic effect. It may be that you need a change in pill, increasing the progesterone effect. I'd continue the current pills but schedule follow up with the doctor who prescribed them.

3 pack: Taking three packs in a row without a break may have changed your hormonal balance a bit. Keep taking the pack as directed, it should settle down soon.
