What should I do if I have bleeding while on the pill?

Question

I am taking the pill and I am bleeding like I have been in my week for 6 days. Do I have to stop it during the 7 days of the flour pill or not? Thank you for your answer and how long does it usually take to resolve? And is it ok if I take Advil since its the occasional cramp. Thank you very much 😁

Hello Mrs., thank you for your question! Although the situation may be unpleasant, it does not necessarily indicate a problem, or that your contraceptive is not working It can happen if you have forgotten to take your pill or if you are late taking it, or if you are ill, tired or stressed, or even if there is no reason for it. I suggest that you continue your contraceptive as normal, and you may or may not take the inactive pills at the end of the pack, depending on your preference. The situation usually goes away on its own. I hope I've been helpful, and I'm always available if you have any other questions! Tom Samaha, Pharmacist I can't predict exactly how long it will take to clear up but it's usually pretty quick. As for Advil, yes you can take it without any problem, with food.
