Skipped Sugar Pills
Updated
Madi Says:
I have been on Tri-Pre for awhile now. I didn't want to have my period this month so I skipped the week of sugar pills. I started bleeding a little on Wednesday and it is now Monday and I'm still bleeding. Is this going to stop? It's really light, but annoying and thought I was skipping my period by going right to the new pack.

Hello, Madi! How are you?
It should stop, but it may take a few weeks. By not giving your body that weeks break, you've basically created a hormonal imbalance, skipping the placebo pills doesn't always work for everyone. When I was younger and taking an oral contraceptive, I always spotted, if I tried.
If it doesn't stop in a few weeks, or gets heavier, you should consult your doctor.
The FDA lists other typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and weight changes.
Is there anything else I can help with?
