It's just been going on for a week now, I've been bleeding everyday since my period stopped last Tuesday. It's annoying when will it stop? I'm coming up to my 3rd week of microgynon 30?

Brief Answer: Can take a few weeks. Detailed Answer: Hello. Thanks for writing again. The spotting may take few weeks to stop. In case you are distressed then you can get an additional combined hormonal pill prescribed to stop the bleeding. Hope my answer is helpful.
