Question
I have been on the birth control Alesse-28 for the past six months and its been going pretty well regular periods three day bleeding and two days of after effect! But recently I have been on my period for the past 14 days and i have been on my after effect for three days now...I had an accident where i took two pills in one day because i thought i missed a pill because i was sleepy, the next day i didn't have one to take because i took it the day before...I believe that may have something to do with this extended period if not please let me know what i need to do!!
Since doubling up is the thing that is different this month, I think you can consider that is what caused the problem. Hopefully, when you start a new pack your cycle will settel down. I'm not a doctor, so if you want a more official opinion you will have to go see your doctor.

Expertise
Natural Family Planning is a risk-free, safe, and economical alternative to chemical and barrier contraceptives. NFP is easy to understand, aids in fertility awareness for spacing children as well as increasing communication and assisting couples to concieve. I do not answer questions about other forms of birth control.
Experience
I have personal experience with all birth control methods, I practiced NFP throughout my child-bearing years and I am a paralegal with great research skills. I am totally convinced this is a viable alternative and I can back-up my statements with research.
