I take the active birth control pills (mircette/kariva) and don't take the non-active ones, and yet i have a full blown cycle. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If u go staright: To the next pack then that is not normal, if u are not taking the non active ones and not going straight to the next pack then that would be normal, but i dont like that pill i never prescribe it except when someone's insurance makes them take it , u can get on other pills so u have a much lighter period, please call your gyn.
