Question
I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo for almost a year now, and a week ago I accidentally forgot to take two pills in a row. I've been bleeding ever since, and I have no idea when it's going to stop. Is this going to stop bleeding by the end of my pack?
Hi Ava.
If this missed pills were towards the end of the pack, its possible this is your period, and your body is some what confused. But bleeding that last more than 7 days is usually abnormal, and you should call a Dr., and make sure everythings okay, and also find out, if this IS your period, when to start your next pill pack, and if you'll need a back up method for following month.
Good Luck to You.
