A member asked:

How can you stop breakthrough bleeding? i started today and i'm suppost to go to my boyfriends tomorrow, it's embarrassing. please help

Can't: Once the bleeding has started, you can't just stop it. You do need to figure out why you are having the bleeding. The most common reason is not taking birth control pills right but this can also be caused by infections such as chlamydia. Your doctor can help rule this out.
