    what to do??

    ok ive been bleeding for about 2 weeks and was still on the pill during the bleed, which isnt normal for me. most probs coz i was meant to have stopped taking it over the weekend which i went away so didnt want to have my bleed that weekend. and i made a decision last night to stop the pill and try again in a week. is there anything anyone can suggest to lighten or better yet stop my bleed? im dying to have sex but my bf doesnt like it.

    Sorry but I am pretty sure you are just going to have to wait it out. If you screw around with your birth control (ie: not taking in at the same time each day consistently) you mess up the natural way your body produces and processes the hormones. So you end up with spotting or break through bleeding as well as your actual cycle. For future reference if you want to avoid getting your period at a certain time you could try taking your pills back to back (meaning not taking the sugar pills at the end of the pack but starting a new pack of pills every three weeks) One downside to this is you won't get your flow so you might end up pregnant and not realize it (Believe me it happens so just a word of warning)

        Yes, some pills are either TOO strong or not strong enough for sure. Ever think about using something the Nuvaring or IUD instead of the pill?
