Melody answered Wednesday April 18 2007, 3:23 pm: I've been on the pill for about a year and a half now, and that happened to me just recently. It's called "Break-through bleeding." It's not a good thing, but it's not fatal or anything either, so don't stress out. A number of things can cause this, and when you go to the doctor, they'll explain these things to you. They may put you on a different brand of birth control, or make some other simple changes to stop this from happening again. You don't need insurance to go to a health clinic. That's where I went when it happened to me. It's completely free, so mention this to your mom/parent. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
Sabine answered Wednesday April 18 2007, 1:07 pm: Call the doctor and explain the situation. It's likely that the hormones in the pill are not enough right now and you might need to change. Hopefully, you've had a check-up within the last year. If so, the doc may be able to change it over the phone and possibly give free sample packets for another month. Otherwise, also, you could go to Planned Parenthood or possibly a student health service if you're in college. Those have reduced-fee services, usually.
But first see what you can get accomplished over the phone.
