I forgot to take my pill for two days and as a result I got my period. After I finished my pack and started another one, I noticed that my period didn't stop (for almost 3 weeks). What should I do to make it stop?

I forgot my pill a few times so I knew what to do but right now I'm a little confused, it's not my habit

Hello,
The best way to make it stop is to continue taking the pill every day, despite the presence of menstruation. It may take a few more days before it starts again, and you should not worry about it.
If the bleeding continues for more than 5 days, or is accompanied by pain or fever or abnormal stomach pain, I invite you to go and consult. If not, continue your pill and everything should be fine.
Good evening,

It is sometimes difficult to judge the amount of blood and its evolution over time. If you fill several sanitary napkins (more than 3) per day, it is best to go to the doctor. But otherwise, if the symptoms mentioned before are not apparent, you can wait a few more days.
Be aware that sometimes a doctor may need to prescribe a hormone to slow down the bleeding. However, this is rare.
Good evening,
