How long does breakthrough bleeding last
I took an i pill as a precaution, even though we used condom, and after 6 days I started spotting. But the spotting is not stopping even after 10 days. Today is 11th day and I am still spotting. It is very light, and there are no other symptoms like cramps or anything. My periods should start coming in 3 days, but I still haven't stopped spotting. How long does breakthrough bleeding last? Because it's been going on for me for 11 days.
