Taking Noriday. Bleeding On Missing Pills. How Can I Stop The Bleeding?

Hi I started taking noriday about three years ago. I don't have a break from this pill and didn't have periods. I went away for a week last year and didn't take a new pack with me therefor I missed three days of pill. I started to bleed. When I got home I returned to taking it again and now I have had an irregular period every 24/26 days lasting 4 days for about 10 months. How come my periods are back again if they had stopped and is there any likely hood of them stoping again? As I'm due to go away in August and I don't want a period

Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

It is normal to have some break through bleeding when you miss a few pills. It is a little bit more unusual to have a "cycle" monthly when you are taking the pills continuously. Sometimes continuous use of the pill causes "thinning" of the uterine lining and subsequent breakthrough bleeding related to this thinning. You might do better with a new pill that has a slightly higher dose of estrogen - talk to your doctor!

I hope that this helps!
