A member asked:
Should you keep taking active pills if you get your period early?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The "period" that is sometimes seen is actually "breakthrough bleeding" on the pill and therefore the active pills should be taken every day about the same time of the day until that pack of pills is finished.
