Missed 1 Pill In Week 1 6th Day And Bleeding Heavy For 1 Week

Updated

I have been on this birth control first time only because of a pilgrimage. However I missed my pill number 6 blue pill in week 1 and realized around 18 hours later and took two pills that day however I m bleeding heavily. Is this normal and also for how long will this bleeding last?

I also was going slightly up and down on my time to take the pill however will get more consistent. I just want to ensure no periods after 2 months. As exactly that's when I go for 1 week.

Any insight will be appreciated.

These are hormonal based contraceptives, so yes, menstrual irregularities can be normal for the first 3 months, especially when you miss pills or take them more then 12 hours late.

Learn more oral contraceptive details here.

That said, taking it also doesn't ensure that you won't experience your period the week of your pilgrimage, since that will still only be the third month you're taking it. It does work for many women to skip their menstrual cycle, but not all.

Slight fluctuations in when you take it, such as an hour or two, will not make a difference.

Are there any other questions I can help with?

I m still little worried as to how many days would the bleeding continue?
Also if I stop now since its only been
2weeks what is the worst scenario I m looking at?

Thanks a lot for your prompt reply?
