Start new pack: You are having some breaktroughbleeding that is common. Start a new pack now. Take 2 tablets daily until the bleeding stops, take one daily until the pack is gone. Please watch the days of the week carefully to not forget any! if there is any chance you could be pregnant do a pregnancy test at the end of the pack. If diarrhea or on antibiotics this can impact your cycle/accuracy of the pills.

Keep taking: It takes an average of 3 months to adjust to a new pill. Prolonged cycles can be treated by double up on active pills for sev days when bleeding on the wrong days. Unfortunately this would require a spare pk to borrow pills from. If cont past 3 mo. Rec a different pill.
