Can missing a pill from your birth control pack cause you to spot bleed? |
I have been taking Velivet for 4 months now...I never missed a pill till recently...I missed one and I took it together with the next day because that was when I remembered...last week I missed a couple days by some hours...so I took them a couple hours later....and I changed the time I take it so I can remember better....but now I am bleeding...and my period isn't due for a whole week yes this happens as it is withdrawal bleeding Source(s): nurse Same thing happened to me. I missed a pill and took it the next day with that pill and then the next day I started my period. I called the doctor's office and they said it was because I missed, but I had missed before in the past and this has never happened before. I just had a CT Scan and I thought maybe that had something to do with it, but the RN said that it was due to missign the pill. It can happen; you should probably not have too much more problem once you re-balance your hormone levels. However, if it happens more and more frequently it may be an indicator that you might need to talk to your doctor about switching pills. Yes, it's possible to spot if you miss a pill to start spotting , but once you start the next cycle of pills, it should resolve itself. It's ok to miss a pill as long as you take 2 pills on the following day and it's not so specific that you have to take it to the exact hour. As long as you take one a day every day, you'll be fine. Absolutely. I've missed my pills sometimes, too and I spot bleed. You might be having something called breakthrough bleeding. If this bleeding lasts until and through you're sugar pills (the ones that start your period) it is definetly breakthrough bleeding and you should tell your prepscriber about it so they can up the dosage or change it to something with more estrogen. That's what the had to do with me. I was on Yaz, had breakthrough bleeding with it and they had to give me Yazmin which had 20% more estrogen. 33% of women on lower dose birth control have breakthrough bleeding so it's not something totally serious. Cramping is normal during breakthrough. I hope this helps. --Damia-- |
