A member asked:
Ive been having breakthrough bleeding for about 3 days and i was wondering how long it lasts?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: It depends on what is causing it. If you missed or took pills late, it should be better after your period when you start your new pack of pills. If you have an infection like chlamydia, it could last until it is treated. Your doctor can help you more with what is going on in your case. Good luck
