About a week ago and a half ago I got off my period and started my next pack of pills (Sunday). I took the pill that one day and forgot to take pills for the rest of the week. On the following Sunday (Sept 23) I started getting bad cramps and saw that I was bleeding. I’ve never had this problem before when I missed 1 or 2 pills. I don’t believe that I am pregnant, since I haven’t had sex in about 1-2 months but looking at other sites it makes me paranoid that I could be. Is this breakthrough bleeding? Is it just the hormonal changes since I didn’t take the pill everyday? I’m really scared and I could use any information! Please and thank you.
Hi Maya, this is called break-through bleeding. It can happen if you miss 3 or more pills in a row.
