I have bleeding even when taking the contraceptive continuously?

Question

Hello, I have been taking my pill continuously since last October and last night I had some bleeding. It seems to be just spotting, I have not had any more. I am on day 13 of my pack. I would also like to know if it's ok not to stop every 3 months or not? Hello, This is Marvelon. thank you

Hello ma'am, which pill is it? Thanks for the information! Bleeding is common and does not necessarily indicate a problem as long as it is mild and temporary. I encourage you to continue taking your contraceptive if you are willing to do so. For the second question, yes, it is okay not to stop at 3 months. Sincerely, Tom Samaha, pharmacist
