A member asked:

I've been taking microgestin for two weeks and within those two weeks i've been bleeding is there a solution to stop the bleeding ?

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Why?: Depends why are you taking the microgestin? If it was prescribed to help you start a period, just keep taking it until you were told to stop, and don't worry about the bleeding. If you are given it to stop bleeding, call your doctor for clarification.
