Birth control withdrawl bleeding?
I'm on Sprintec birth control for about ten months. This past month I decided to skip my placebo pills and immediately start a new pack in order to skip my period. I'm currently 2 weeks into active pills and have been spotting brown discharge for about 5 days. Today there has been some blood too. Should I finish out the pack I'm on, I still have one more week of active pills, or stop the pills entirely for a week to make myself have a period???

You stop the pill and let the flow start.May be you will get heavy flow for prolonged periods.If you want spacing then from 5th day again start same tablet or different brand and continue for 21 days.
