Then I had it again 2 weeks later when I was taking the brown pills!. Why does my body do this!? Is my birth control not working!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
It's not that the pill is ineffective, it's that you're experiencing mid-cycle breakthrough bleeding!. If you've only recently started taking this formulation it's pretty common until your body adjusts; if it's been a while since you started, you may need to try a different type of pill (such as Losetrin 1!.5/30)!.
It has nothing to do with fingering or masturbation; it just so happens that your explorations happened to coincide with your breakthrough bleeding episodes!.
If it continues to happen, talk to your doctor about switching pills!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
