Forgetting to take the pill, bleeding. Is this normal?

Question

Hello, I forgot once my contraceptive pill, and since then I have had bleeding for 6 days. I had my period the week before. Is this normal? Very well, I thank you for your answer. Have a nice day. Should I continue to take my blister pack as usual?

Hello, thank you for your question! Yes, it is unfortunately possible that missing a pill, or even a delay in taking it for some people, can cause bleeding in the middle of your pack. While this can be unpleasant, it does not necessarily indicate a problem and usually goes away on its own. I hope this helps, and I am available if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist For this answer, it depends on what contraceptive you are taking, during what week the contraceptive was forgotten, and since when exactly. I strongly suggest that you redirect this question to your pharmacist who can suggest several options, document your case, and follow up with you.
