A member asked:
A week ago i missed a birth control pill and for the last 7 days i've had heavy bleeding and cramping. will this go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes but: Missing one birth control pill usually doesn't cause a heavy bleed as you describe. After 7 days if it's just as heavy and painful, it's time to see a doctor. A withdrawal bleed should taper off.
