A member asked:

I am experiencing breakthrough bleeding/spotting for 5 days. i'm on birth control and skipped over my period this month. should i stop the pack?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dont stop : If you " roll over" next pack if BCP in order to postpone or skip your period- its totaly ok. Breakthrough spoting is very common in such instance. Endometrium( uterine lining ) doesn't hold on completely with low dose pills and may allow spotting. If you continue current pack - it will eventually stop . Check pregnancy if any doubt. But if keep taking pill- no pregnancy shoud occur.
