A member asked:
What does it mean if you forgot to take your birth control twice and started your period but already had it almost two weeks ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Withdrawal Bleeding: This type of bleeding is common when oral contraceptives are skipped or missed. It is due to a drop in hormone levels. You should use back up contraception, such as condoms for any pack you miss pills or even take late to prevent pregnancy.
