I've been taking the pill continuously for about 3 months and I've been bleeding.

I've been bleeding for a week now and I wanted to know if it usually takes a long time to get back to normal? Or am I better off going back to my week off?

Hello ma'am, what contraceptive are you currently taking?

Thanks for the feedback!
This can occur following an episode of illness (or vaccination), stress, fatigue, change of schedule or even for no detectable reason, but does not necessarily indicate a problem as long as it remains mild and temporary. I encourage you to continue taking your contraceptive as planned if you are willing to do so.
If the bleeding persists for more than 14 days or gets worse, a break of 3 to 4 days is suggested in some references. This will not affect the effectiveness of Linessa as long as the break does not exceed 7 days and it has been taken for at least 21 consecutive days before without misses.
I hope that I have been helpful to you and remain available if you have any further questions
Tom Samaha, pharmacist
