Period issue

2025-04-03 11:10:00
Last month i started birth control Femilon and experienced breakthrough bleeding almost half of the course. During the 7 day pill break days I did not get my periods ( I am already 3 days late) , I took a pregnancy test at home and it was negative. Should I re start my birth control pills or wait for my periods? Or should I take a pregnancy test again in few days. Please advise.

If you were bleeding on and off during the pill maybe switch to a different preparation. All hormonal pills should be taken regularly and at time to avoid withdrawl bleeding.

Wait for your period before starting femilon. If you were regular with pill then no pregnancy test required.
