What is the best and fastest way to reduce breakthrough bleeding? im going on my honeymoon in two days . could i start a new pack ?

Not needed : Just continue taking the pill as you are, if you aren't bleeding now. If you are, your doctor could prescribe estrogen tablets to take for approx. 7 days. That should be enough to help. Doubling the pill is not as good.
