A member asked:
I skipped my placebo pills to skip my period. halfway through my next months pack i got a very light period that i have now had for 9 days. now what?

Continue: Continue and finish the second pack, take the placebo pills, and see if that gets you back on track again. If you stop the pills now, you won't have protection on top of breakthrough bleeding.
