Breakthrough bleed: Could be btb, if you're not due to bleed yet. If it continues for several days, you can try taking your combination (estrogen/progestin) pills twice daily for 5 to 7 days. Then go back to once a day. Skip the placebo for this pack and go straight to the next pack. Treat the next pack normally. Call your doctor if you need clarification. You can also try a pill with higher estrogen.
