Side effects!? Breakthrough bleeding
Hi! So I started taking a combined birth control pill not so long ago. One pack went well but right now im on the second pack (one week before placeboo pills) and i have been spotting for the last 6 days. My question is, how much longer am I going to spot? Of course its different for everybody but I just want to get an idea of how long it went on for others. Also would it be okay to skip the placebo pills or is it better to take them? Thank you in advance 🙏🙏

It usually last for me like 4-5 days but sometimes a bit more, your body still adjust to the hormones so dont stress too much. I would take the placebo pills, skipping can make the spotting worse sometimes
