A member asked:
I have my period 10 days earlier than expected and i still have a week worth of oral contraceptives. is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is called breakthrough bleeding. It does happen occasionally on oral contraceptive pills. It happens more often when you have been on the pill for a longer period of time, or if you miss more than one day of taking the pill.
