I'm on my 4th box of alyensa and i'm trying to skip my period, i started bleeding but is it breakthrough bleeding or my period. will this last long?

Hopefully Not: Sometimes, when you take pills to avoid a period it does to work. You may have to take 2 tablets a day for about 5 days to stop this bleeding. However, taking 2 tablets a day may increase side effect profile. Good Luck!
