question: Dear Doctor - I am currently taking the contraceptive pill.  I forgot to take the pill for 2 days, and researched online as to what I should do, and I promptly took 2 pills that moment, and then 2 pills the following day, so that I had caught up.  I was in the first 7 days of that month's pill cycle.  3 days after this, I started bleeding.  I know bleeding or spotting can be normal in this situation.  But the bleeding is gone on now for nearly 2 weeks - not heavy flow, and sometimes it appears to stop, but essentially it has been on going for nearly 2 weeks.  I finished the month's pills on Monday of this week, so I am now on day 4 of taking no pill.  the bleeding hasn't stopped.  I have read that it is likely to stop on Monday when I take my first pill of the next cycle.  First question is do I need to be concerned about this?  Second question, I have not had sex for the past month, but now will use condoms with my husband to be on the safe side.  I assume this is best way forward?
