A member asked:
Skipped period on birth control, been taking hormone pills for 30 days. (9 from new pack) have breakthrough bleeding. can i stop now to have a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes you can: then after your period RESTART with a FRESH PAC!!! (To re-establish the cycle again) Save the left over pills for extra dosage if you experience break thru during the next "cycle" Check with your pill "prescriber" for any special directions for the type of pill you are taking!
