2 mo. of bcp's ?: Taking "two months of bcp's " on March 2nd will make your estrogen levels quite elevated, so stopping the pills will cause bleeding which can be heavy and "bright red". Taking the active pills as you described can be dangerous so talk to your healthcare provider about the reasons you decided to do this.
