A member asked:
What can taking extra bc as ec do to your cycle when you're on bc and your period is 5 days away? usually is here, or atleast spotting at this time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
One per day: Unless you forgot to take a pill or were specifically directed to take more than one pill by your doctor then don't do it. This raises the hormone exposure, can cause nausea and increases the risk of blood clot formation. Sometimes doctors will have patients manipulate pills in different ways to solve breakthrough bleeding.
