I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
If you start bleeding again for more than four days in a row, you may stop for a four day break again as long as you have taken your pill for 21 days continuously, as in point 1. 5. There must always be at least 21 days of continuous pill taking between these four day breaks.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

Most of the medical problems need personally taking detailed medical history and examination with the need for reports sometimes so meet concerned doctor- gynecologist
