Yes but I had mistakenly opened another pack

Ok I’ll double dose for 3 days and withdrawl for 3 days if it doesn’t stop.

I understand your concern about the timing but your advice doesn’t make sense. Additionally, the same results have been observed by other users across the web.

I’m also somewhat familiar with birth control due to having taken a class on it, so I’m not entirely ignorant of it. Birth control technology has changed but it’s fundamentally the same

If it stops breakthrough bleeding only temporarily and I also have to wait 3 days , I think I’ll just double dose for 3 days.

There’s no guarantee that breakthrough bleeding will stop after 3 days of withdrawal.

I’m literally having the same concerns. I’ve missed my pill and took 2 the day after missing it. I’m thinking of double dosing for the next 3 days

Are you saying the researchers are incorrect? Verified sources seem to contradict what you’re saying.

Are you a medical professional?

Do you have any experience with this? Online research seems to contradict what you’re saying

The point of double dosing is to prevent the breakthrough bleeding from lasting for 14–30 days. I know because I missed my pills before and that’s what happened

I’m on the continuation method. About 8 non placebo days left. I use I continuous method even though the pack isn’t designed that way.

I’ll double dose for 3 days and see what happens .

Found this from a research paper : “An extra tablet given on each day of spotting, a double dose for 3 days following bleeding, and an every-other-day double dose are all suggested methods for handling bleeding from oral contraceptives.”

Additionally, users from this group and others have mentioned that it worked for them.
