Is it normal to have bleeding while taking Marvelon?
30-year-old woman
Hello, I am taking the Marvelon pill (the one with the sugar pills) and I fell in my period while taking it. (since Tuesday)
I had forgotten it one day (Friday)
I had unprotected sex on Saturday.

Good morning, Mrs,
Yes, forgetting to take a pill can trigger spotting or bleeding. This can even occur with a delay in taking the medication in some people.
Did you consult with your pharmacist to manage the missed dose and what to do next?

No, I have not been consulted.

Thank you for the information, I'm sorry for the delay in my response, I hadn't seen the notification!
Bleeding can happen in a hurry if you forgot a day to take it, or even if it was late. This usually decreases with time.
With that in mind, you will need to redirect your question to your pharmacist to manage the continuation of your contraceptive if you want to ensure its continued effectiveness.
Sincerely,
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
