Can we take two bc pills in a day to prevent breakthrough bleeding??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough bleed: Breakthrough bleeding (bleeding at the wrong time) is very common on birth control. It happens in about 1/3 of users. It usually self corrects over time. If you are not satisfied or it continues to happen then consider using a different birth control method. It is a common side effect & does not mean something is wrong or that the pill is not working. Doubling up sometimes works.
