Breakthrough bleeding?

Alright, because I was going to go on holiday I took another pack of pills without taking a break (I'm currently about halfway through the second pack). Today I went to the toilet and there was a little bit of blood. Is it breakthrough bleeding? There wasn't much, but I've taken two packs of pills back to back without any bleeding before so I wasn't sure. I'm just checking it's not anything serious really.

I should think it is breakthrough bleeding yeah. As long as it's just a bit of blood there shouldn't be anything to worry about. I could be wrong but I think plane travel can sometimes bring it on?

Ooh I was on a plane this weekend so that might be it. Thanks for the reassurance.

shouldnt have anything to do with plane travel... but you can get BRB if you run 2 packs together... its also depends on the strenth of the pills and whether is asame strenth pack.


if you have been drinking loads that can make you bleed a biut more as its an antixcoagulant.... so if you were out on the piss can make it worse.

also if you had BRB after sex or if you have pain or discharge then go to the clinic and get it checked.
