If i get my period with active pills do i still take the rest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pills: If you are bleeding while taking the active pills, this is considered break-through bleeding. The pill is still effective in preventing pregnancy, so continue to take them. Your MD may consider changing your pill if you are experiencing this bleeding when you are not on the placebo pills
