I am bleeding but am not on my period?

Question

I am on the pill, at the end of last month i forgot to take it twice, and since i am on the 28 day cycle, my last 7 pills were just sugar pills becuase it was time for my period. I took those, and my period only lasted a few days and was very very light. Now, 2 weeks later i am bleeding again and it is a lot heavier; it feels like my regular periods. What is happening to me?

Answer 1

This bleeding that you are noticing is breakthrough bleeding (bleeding that acts a lot like a period but isn't).  This can occur because of the missed pills and the body trying to get back on schedule (an example only).

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
