I forgot my pill and I have heavy bleeding, is this normal?

27-year-old womana year ago

I am taking the contraceptive pill jennycla and I forgot the pill 5 and took it 23 hours later. Is it normal that I have heavy bleeding that looks like my period? It's been 6 weeks since I gave birth.

Good morning, ma'am,

Although this situation can be quite unpleasant, it does not necessarily indicate a problem. Indeed, an oversight can cause heavy withdrawal bleeding. However, this should remain light and temporary.

I hope that I have been of some help to you and I remain available if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,

Tom Samaha, pharmacist
