A member asked:

I was on vacation for a week and i left my new pack of birth control pills. i finished all the placebos. so i missed days 1-8. i have not started the new pack. now i have some bleeding. is this normal? is this my period or just breakthrough bleeding? shou

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need backup: After missing more than 1 pill, and especially missing at the beginning of a pack, you shouldn't rely on the pill for birth control for at least 7 days (use condoms for 7 days for backup). Bleeding after missing pills is not unusual.
