Spotting during active pills
I have been on birth control for about 4 months now and I am experiencing breakthrough bleeding/spotting. I am going to start week 3 of my pack tomorrow. I am going to visit my boyfriend in 5 days who I have not seen for months and I would like to not be bleeding. Is there any way I can stop the breakthrough bleeding? I read that I can temporarily take the pills every 12 hours instead or 24 in order to stop the bleeding. Is that safe? If not, what else can I do?

Try not to miss the dose and take it at correct timing ... in case there is any spotting then you can take a pill at 12 hrs too.... Better would be to visit your gynaec and change pills brand from very low dose pills to low dose pills
