I think my birth control pill is not strong enough. What should I do?

If you believe that your contraceptive pill is not strong enough, there are a few steps you can take. If you experience bleeding for more than 21 days after taking the pill continuously, you can try taking a break for 5 to 7 days to let your period come and then continue with the pill. If the bleeding occurs less than 21 days into a new cycle, you may need to consider increasing the strength of the estrogen or changing the progestin in your pill. There are various options available, and it may require some trial and error to find the one that works best for you. It's important to remember that not all methods work the same for everyone, so don't hesitate to seek guidance from a healthcare provider if you have more questions.
