    Question! I need an answer today please!

    I am new to bc and it's Saturday so I can't call my doc to ask my question. I have read my info that came with the pill and it doesn't help. The website for the pill won't load. I am taking femcon fe and I think I started my period. I have had some breakthrough bleeding during the last few weeks and this is much heavier and looks like period blood. I still have 3 "active" pills (white pills) left. Do I keept taking them? Do I start the brown pills? Do I start a new pack? What do I do? Thank you!

    Keep taking your pills.
    Did you miss any pills? Take them at strange times?
    Take your last three at your regular time and consult with your doctor on Monday. Ask him/her about it, maybe you need a pill with stronger doses of hormones.

      No I have not missed any pills. I find it easist to take them at night and I always take it them about 11 pm. Sometimes it varies though I've taken it as early as 10:30 and as late as 11:30. Would that make a difference? Thanks!

        A half hour doesn't make a difference in taking the pill. In fact, with daylight savings time, when it moved up an hour, it still was fine. Breakthrough bleeding is normal on the pill, especially in your first month or so. Keep on taking the active pills and then ask your doc on Monday what to do.

        Take a deep breath, you're ok.
