Irregularity in taking "active" bcp's will cause withdrawal bleeding. Suggest stopping your current pack of oral bcp's, waiting five days and then starting a new pack. It is important to be punctual with active pills, since delays will cause "breakthrough bleeding", and may actually permit ovulation to occur, with possibility of pregnancy. See your GYN physician for guidance.
