See doctor: Missing one pill should not result in prolonged bleeding. You should see your doctor for an examination to ascertain the cause of bleeding. Unrelated to your question: If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.
