Hey,My girlfriend is on the Microgynon 30 pill. She was 2 days away from her "Break week" after nearly completing her 21-pill streak (so this bleeding has occurred 19 pills in) when she discovered that her vagina was slightly bleeding.She says that it was almost like a period, very light.Does this mean that the pill isn't working? Or?Thanks.

Random bleeding whilst on Pill

She's fine.. These things happen all the time especially if she is relatively new to the pill.
-
Thanks,Also, we're planning on making love tomorrow. Will I need to wear a condom or is the first "building up safety" period over? She's finished her pack of 21 and did so about 4 days ago.

She'll be at the full level of protection (but still may be on her period).
-
Sorry for the bombardment of questions.Ok so 2 days ago we had sex. No condom or anything as she's on the pill. Today she's had dia hoa, and I hear that diminishes the Pill's efficiency. Does this mean that a couple of days ago it wasn't as effective as, basically, she had this illness in her system?

During the seven days of no pill (if she's using a 21-day pack) or inactive pills (if she's using a 28-day pack) there's nothing for the body to absorb, so diarrhoea and other gastrointestinal upsets aren't a problem. However the rest of the time they can be, but the risk is only for the time forward until the next period - the risk doesn't go backwards in time, because the pill works by stopping ovulation.

Thanks ineligible. Guess that means we're safe to continue then.Also, thanks for the welcome in my inbox! I just saw it now.
