A member asked:
Can i double up on my yasminelle birth control to stop a 10 day non-stop breakthrough bleeding? i have been on bcp's for only a month by the way.

I would stay: with the daily pills and allow your body to acclimate to the new hormones you are ingesting. Taking double doses haphazardly usually will not staunch the bleeding immediately, especially if you take twice the dose of a blank or placebo pill. Stick with the schedule to let the body slowly adheres. Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
