A member asked:

I've been experiencing breakthrough bleeding for over 3 weeks now. will taking a vitamin c pill really help stop it? if not, what will?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

listen to your body: If breakthrough bleeding started after being on bc pill, it is from the pill. Vitamin c in the doses recommended of 200 to 1, 000 mg taken with the pill has helped some women. It would be safe to try.
