A) You're going to run out of pills if you do that, and insurance companies only allow you to get one packet per month... so you're going to end up with half a month without any pills at all if you do that.

B) The pills won't necesarily stop your bleeding. They could, in fact, make them worse. You should really a see a doctor so they can determine what's causing the bleed.

C) Taking two pills won't actually do you any real harm, but they will raise your propensity to be over emotional, cause breast tenderness... a myriad of weird side effects that are caused by too much hormone in your system.

See a doctor, hon.

No you should definitely not do that, i don't know if it will harm you, but it is not going to help with your problem either. Just go to your gyno and tell them what is going on, you might need to be on a different birth control.

Absolutely not, unless specifically instructed to by your doctor. Please refer to the insert that came with your pills. The side effects are horrible enough without doubling the dose: Heart attack, cancer, blood clots, etc...

If you are having continuous bleeding, something else is going on and your doctor needs to know about this right away.
