Is this just some sort of breakthrough bleeding or something more sinister.

Have been on microgynon since having DS (now 2.9). Have never had any problems.

Recently ran two packs together because I was away and didn't want to have my period while on holiday.

My current pack is due to end next Monday.

I have been bleeding slightly for over a week now - not loads and mostly brown not too red (Really sorry if too much information). Missed one pill at the end of last week, but had already started this light bleeding before that.

Had a smear test two months ago and my results were fine.

Feeling slightly bloated and have slight stomach pains as well (feeling like I'm about to start my period properly).

Has this happened to anyone else? I thought breakthrough bleeding only happened when you first started taking the pill, so is this something I should be concerned about?

TIA

I think breakthrough bleeding when you run two packs together is fairly common, it overstimulates your hormones or something.

I'd say go and have a chat with your doc though to put your mind at rest. HTH x
