Bleeding after missing one pill
I missed one of my birth control pills and as soon as I realized i immediately took 2 the next day. However, for the last 3 days I have been spotting a decent amount. The spotting is mostly brown but when I go to the bathroom there is some light red blood. I saw this was known as breakthrough bleeding, but when will it go away??

Breakthrough bleeding can occur with birth control pills. Continue the pills, it should subside on its own. Meet your doctor to discuss whether you need to change the brand
