How long after starting active pills should my period end? i just finished my sugar pills and still bleeding a little on day 2 of active pills. i assume it will stop soon. i have been on it for four months

OCP's: correct answer is everyone is different and bleeding can be extremely variable - you might have weeks to months of spotting or irregular bleeding - your bleeding should stop soon, but if you go 1-2 more cycles and do not have regular period, go see your PCP or OB/Gyn for advice
