I am not too sure where to go from here now..I started my next pill on that Thursday and took my pills Thur,Fri,Sat,Sun, and now Monday. I started breakthrough bleeding on Friday and continued over the weekend and today..it hasnt been heavy at all..mostly very very light to pink and I have slight cramps. My question is, should I continue the leftover pills...there are only 5 more dark blue active pills left (my 3rd week)...then the placebos, will the light bleeding stop? Or should I just stop it all together and wait til I get my "full" period and then restart a new pack when it ends? Thanks
