Hello, I have been using Vines contraceptive pills for two years. Last year I had midcyclic bleeding, I went to the gynecologist and it turned out that I have erosion. I had a cytology done that didn't show anything serious. I had such midcyclic bleeding regularly until November. Since Sunday (4.09) I have had heavy brown bleeding with an admixture of blood and accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen. I did not miss the tablets in this cycle - I took 1 and 2 tablets 30 minutes earlier, 13 and 14 also 30 minutes earlier and 19 tablets from the blister I unfortunately had to take 2.5 hours earlier, because I could not take it at a fixed time (10:30). I had two intercourses this month, both with an additionally secured condom that was used correctly. On Friday (9.09) I am scheduled to have withdrawal bleeding - can my midcyclic bleeding not occur? Can such bleeding mean pregnancies? Last week on Tuesday (30.08) I forged my tongue, make rinses from soda, oak bark after 4 hours from taking the tablet for safety so that it is absorbed. Despite the difficulty in swallowing the tablet, I took it whole, sipping water as always. Can such bleeding indicate a decrease in the effectiveness of the tablet? As I say - tablets are used day after day. Apart from a few situations where I had to accept earlier, I did not forget about any.
