I tried to skip my period it was all okay Sunday but on Monday I took my 2nd pill (of the new pack) I got brown discharge for 4 days. Now on Friday I got my period (and it was heavy) it's been 5 days since I got my period I woke up and checked today in the morning and it's still bright red not that light red or brown (what you get towards the end) my period usually is 6 days and I'm on the 5th day and the blood still seems bright red And it's been like 10 days with stuff coming out of me .-.
And if I stop talking the birth control will it stop ?

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER. I am glad you reached out to our community for help.
You must telephone your gynecologist today. I am assuming you are taking some type of oral contraceptive. You tried to eliminate having a period by skipping the inactive pills and starting a new pack of active pills. Is that right?
Before you take another pill, please speak with either your gynecologist or the office nurse.
As a result of what you tried to do, a hormonal imbalance has occurred. I am not qualified to answer your question of how much longer the bleeding will last. Nor will I advise you to continue to take an active pill or not. Only your physician can advise you.
Keep us updated,
