A member asked:

I started taking jolessa i'm on the third week and have been bleeding since monday how long will this last and what can i do to stop the break through?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Be patient: Most breakthrough bleeding stops on the second or third cycle of a new contraceptive. No magic way to stop the bleeding.
