"I often have spotting when I try to take the pill continuously. What should I do?"

If you are experiencing difficulties with continuous birth control and are having breakthrough bleeding, you can stop taking the pills immediately, have a 7-day break, and then continue with the pack. As long as you have taken at least 21 active pills before the break, your contraceptive protection should remain effective. This is a common approach to managing breakthrough bleeding while on the pill.
