A member asked:
Should i take the 7 day placebo birth control pills if i have been bleeding for 3 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: I would contact your doctor. You may need more estrogen to stabilize the bleeding. This can be done by taking your estrogen/progestin pill twice daily for 5 to 10 days or switching to a higher dose estrogen pill brand. Good luck.
