A member asked:

Can you tell me if i miss bc pills is the blood still produced for period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Breakthrough bleed: When you miss a oral contraceptive pill in the middle of the cycle the bleeding/spotting is hormone withdrawal bleeding and not a end of cycle bleeding period.
