Hi! i've been taking Sprintec for more then one year now! this month I skiped one blue pill, and after 2 days,even if I took the pills at my regular hour in those days, I got my period! Should I continue to take the pills form this pachage until I am done with them,or should I discontinue them and start a new cycle on Sun?

If you've only skipped one pill, it is fine to just continue the current pack. Skipping it caused the breakthrough bleeding, but your body will get back onto your normal cycle, soon.

However, missing a pill does increase your risk of getting pregnant, so you should use some other form of back-up protection for at least a week.

Are there any other questions?
