A member asked:
I started continuous birth control 7 weeks ago now have breakthru bleeding, dr wants me to double up for 5 days.....is this ok....i'm scared to double?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ocps: Doubling today is the equivalent of the dose of birth control pill of 7-10 years ago. The dose is quite low. This may help but it may not either.
