Breakthrough bleeding on pill getting heavier after 14 days of bleeding & 16 days being on pill for first time. will this stop on my pill free wk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: You are having breaktroughbleeding caused by the external hormones you are taking. Ask your doctor to see if he/she would recommend stopping for 5 days now, then restarting a new pill strip or have you take two pills a day for a few days. This may stop the bleeding you are experiencing. Sometimes a different pill will help also.
