I missed a placebo pill and have irregular bleeding, what should I do?

Question

Hello! I take the Aglae pill, I started the placebo week and on the second day I immediately started to resume the pill. My period came to me despite not being taking the placebo and this week, I was supposed to get my period but it didn't come. Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

If placebo tablets are missed, i.e. a "break" for withdrawal bleeding, spotting or mid-cycle bleeding may occur during the next cycle. However, their occurrence does not affect the effectiveness of contraception, contraceptive protection is maintained. Skipping placebo pills should not be done too often, as the body may become dysregulated, as a result of which bleeding will be more irregular and will occur even when using active pills. To avoid dysregulation, it is important to take a 7-day break or use placebo pills for 7 days in each cycle, bleeding after time should normalize. In addition, irregular bleeding and spotting are a common side effect of hormonal contraception, especially during the first months of use.
