Combined pill

[Help1235]

I was on the combined pill from 19 year old to 22 year old no break... I took a 6 month break and got back on it in May this year. I took two packs back to back as I didn’t want to be on my period on holiday. I’m still on the second pack but I’ve been bleeding through most of it like a normal period... am I covered during this time or not ?

Yes, as long as you’re taking the pill you are protected. Sometimes your body adjusting causing irregular bleeding unfortunately. That do say give yourself about 6 months to fully let your body adjust and if the irregular bleeding etc still occurs go back to your GP to see what they advise
