A member asked:

I currently take balziva 28 as my method of birth control. anytime i miss even one day, i begin to spot. why is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Withdrawal bleed: When your body senses a decrease in hormones (as occurs when you miss a pill) it will cause a withdrawal bleed. The same concept that occurs when you have a normal menstrual flow.
