Hi, I’m on the pill- but have been taking it continuously for a few packs - I have started bleeding and have a sore tummy, is this normal? I’m not sure whether to take a break from the pills or to carry on?

It is safe to cycle the pill like this - the advice is that if you start to bleed, then take a break for four days to allow a bleed to happen ( you are still covered for contraception ) and then continue again. Presuming all else ok eg chlamydia testing.
