I take my pill continuously and I have spotting?

Question

I've been taking the birth control pill alessyna continuously for 2 months. I started spotting and I'm at the beginning of my 2nd pack. I don't remember if I'm starting my 2nd or 3rd pack. Can I stop my blister pack to fall within my week and stop spotting?

Hello, thank you for your question! You can, if you wish, stop taking your contraceptive. This may or may not trigger bleeding, unfortunately this is not guaranteed.. Spotting can happen even in healthy people, does not necessarily indicate a problem, and usually goes away on its own. Your contraceptive will remain effective if the break is 7 days or less I hope I've been helpful, so please don't hesitate if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
