I've been taking bcpills for years and decided to skip my period this month and start a new pill pack. Now one week in I'm cramping with breakthrough bleeding. Is this normal? What's the best course of action? Finish the second pack or stop midway?

A member asked:

Can taking a extra birth control pill stop spotting on the pill or would it mess up the rest of my cycle? Or would stopping it for 4 days then start a new pack work better? I already had my period and it just ended?

A member asked:

I took an active BCP two days into my 4 day placebo break, on Thursday, to stop the bleeding, but it didn't and it's still going. Why am I still bleeding? I'm on my 4th active pill of the new pack

A member asked:

Called my dr and she said to continue the pills. I thought the bleeding was stopping but it came back. Should I still take the pills or stop to have a regular period and start a new pack, so I can get back on a regular schedule.
