Hey,
I've googled and google but I am struggling to find any answers that match my particular situation.
I lost my last month pill packet on the Wednesday(October 4th) of 3rd week so I did not take wed- sat of active pills and started a light bleed on Sat (October 7th) . I decided to start a new packet on the Sunday(October 8th), and I continued to very lightly bleed until Monday (which is extremely short as I normally bleed for 5 days.)
Since the "3 day period" my breasts have hurt, I have Been etremely cramp and exhausted. I continued taking the pills have not missed any since and started to spot brown on the second week (October 20th)which had continued and is now red.
My husband and I have had quite a lot of unprotected sex, some withdrawal and some not. We were on vacation and we're drinking quite a bit too.
I guess my question is, I assumed my bleed on the sat after missing wed-sat pills where the result of missing the pills, so why am I bleeding again. 10 days later and 9 days before placebo pills, on this new pack which I've took religiously.
I had a Pap smear this morning and my gyno told me to call him if it happens next month. Not a good enough answer for me so here I am...

Hello Anon
Thank you for writing.
We can't give you a definitive answer over the internet - nobody can.
I agree that it's unusual to be bleeding when you're taking your pills religiously now but you may be very sensitive to missing pills and are having a side effect of spotting and bleeding the month after. Since you didn't wait the full 7 days last month to start your new pack, your system could be out of whack until next month.
October 24, 2017 - 1:37pmMy advice is to give yourself next month to see if your system gets back to normal. Don't google anymore, you'll come up with a hundred different answers. If you have a pregnancy concern, a test would be accurate by now.
Best,
Susan
