A member asked:
If you have breakthrough bleeding from missed pills will you still have a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: Most of the time if a woman misses a pill or is late and has break through bleeding she will still get a period at the usual time. I have had patients though who have had break through bleeding and then skipped a period altogether. If the break through bleeding is from missed pills and there's no period check a pregnancy test. With missed pills use back up method of for the rest of the pack.
