Last week, I left my birth control pills at my school, and couldn't take them Saturday or Sunday. Monday when I got back to school, I took 3 pills at once, at a different time than the usual. I usually take them at 2PM but that day I took it at 8AM. That same day around 12pm, I started bleeding. Its been about a week, and I expected it to end, but it is still occurring. What do I do? Is that normal? Is there something totally wrong or should I be worried?

Hi Anon,

Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.

Taking 3 is deemed as an overdose. Are you experiencing any symptoms like; drowsiness, breast tenderness, discolored urine, excessive bleeding, and nasea?

Although these symptoms are seldom serious, it's always a good idea to call poison control and seek further instruction if you have overdosed on anything. It's always better to be safe than sorry.

I hope all turns out to be well.
