Is it normal to start bleeding after missing a pill?

Yes.  This is called break through bleeding and it very well may last the rest of this cycle.  You should go back to normal after you have your next period.  Sometimes the bleeding can be heavy, sometimes just spotting.

when you miss your patch the symptoms start to kick in and can mimic pregnancy.  This goes for most medicine, however, you should still use a backup method in case and retake the pregnancy test a few days after you were suppossed to start your period to be for certain.

Your body is adjusting to the pill.  It may take a few months for your body to adjust to the pill.  It's normal.  You may also experience spotting or abnormal periods during the next few months too.

You might miss your period. You might experience what is called "break through bleeding" or bleeding while taking active pills. If you start the pills midcycle, it could take a few months for your period to regulate itself with the pill. This is okay but, side effects may be worse when starting. Remember to use back up contraceptives for at least 7 days after starting the pill.

Spotting when you first switch is normal, but if you've been on it for awhile, its not normal.  \nI had this problem in the past because the pill I switched to did not have enough hormones for my body, so I had to switch to something else.  Make an appointment with your gyno.

Missing the pill will make your cycle start.  Just to be safe, I think I would contact my physician since it has lasted for so long.  Hope you get to feeling better.

Definitely yes.  This is currently happening to me and my doctor told me that it is totally normal.  The pill works in part by thinning the lining of the uterus.  For some women, the lining of the uterus gets so thin that it isn't shed anymore, so you have no period.  I have been on the pill for over two years and my periods have gradually gotten shorter--now they only last 2-3 days.  My gynecologist told me that they could stop altogether and if they did, it would be nothing to worry about.  If your period does stop, I would recommend taking a home pregnancy test just to rule out pregnancy as a reason.  If you aren't pregnant, then it should be a normal reaction to the pill.

Did you have to double up on the pills because you missed the 2 previous days pills? When you skip pills, your body thinks it's time for your period. I'm guessing thats why you started bleeding. Make sure to use a back-up method of birth control for the rest of the pill cycle to prevent pregnancy.

It's because of the Plan B. It can take a while for your period to get back to normal. The gyno should have explained this to you.

If, you've missed a dose — or several doses — of your birth control pills during a cycle, you might be at higher risk of unintended pregnancy during that cycle. To be safe, use a backup form of contraception, such as a condom\n\nIf you continued taking your birth control pill because you didn't realize you were pregnant, don't be alarmed. Despite years of this accident happening, there's very little evidence that exposure to the hormones in birth control pills causes birth defects."\nOnce you learn that you're pregnant, stop taking the birth control pill.

The antibiotics may have messed with your hormone levels (the birth control pills work by keeping the levels elevated) and weakened the effects of the birth control, that combined with missing a couple of days may have upset your cycle and made your body think it was time for your period. Give it some time and it should return to normal.

Sounds like 'breakthrough bleeding', which is natural when you start then stop the pill. I'd just start again with a new month of pills, and stick to it this time. Feeling lightheaded could be from the pill, if you were new to taking them.

There are several side effects to all oral contraceptives, but it is unlikely one person would experience all of them.  It is nice to know what they are, though, in order to compare anything you might be feeling after starting the pill with the list.  Here is a general list for you:\n1)irregular vaginal bleeding (usually spotting in between periods)\n2)fluid retention\n3)melasma (spotty darkening of the skin, usually the face)\n4)change in appetite\n5)headache, nervousness, depression\n6)dizziness\n7)cramping\n\nIf any of these symptoms occur and do not go away or if you're concerned about anything at all, please call your doctor or pharmacist.\nHope this helps!

It's called "breakthrough bleeding" and is perfectly normal (especially when you're on the pill.)  I wouldn't worry unless you are experiencing extremely heavy cramping when this happens.  Do a search for breakthrough bleeding on the web and you should find more info...  = )
