Skipped placebo pills on BCP
I skipped my period by not taking the placebo pills and starting the next pack. I was supposed to start my period today but all I have is very light brown spotting, which I have been getting for a couple of days. Is this normal when changing the schedule of birth control?

Stop the  tablet.  Await  periods.  You  will  get  a normal  flow.  Start the next pack of pills  on the  second  day of  periods.
