A Period Due To Missed Pills

Hi, I was on my period the previous week from sunday to thursday, then I forgot to take 4 pills of Oralcon from friday till sunday and now I'm on my second period. I just want to know how long will this period last since the blood is too much and not decreasing

Hello, Desiree! How are you?

Yes, that can happen if you miss several in a row. The pills you take the week you have your period actually have no active hormones in them, so what you have them is a withdrawal bleed, thus, that's going to occur any other time you don't have the hormones going into your body.

I can't say for sure how long it will last, perhaps a week or so, until your hormones balance back out from taking them, again.

If it persists, you should see your doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?
