A member asked:
How long should teen spot after missing one birth control pill. took extra pill 3 days after started to spot and realized forgot one pill?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Breakthrough: bleeding from missing a pill can last 3-7 days. If you started taking them again immediately, it should be shorter. Remember to use a backup method of birth control until your next month of pills, as you are at risk for pregnancy with a missed dose. Hope this helps!
