I have been spotting light dark brown for 9 days now. I read online that if the bleeding is moderate to heavy or lasts more than 4 days, I should take a four day break or take the placebo pills early. Should I take a break? I'm not sure if the spotting is from the pill I missed two weeks ago or because I skipped my period on my last pack. Brand: Daylette

Also the spotting hasn't been lightening in colour or amount.

If your pill allows you to take breaks you can, that being said it won’t guarantee you will stop bleeding once you start taking your pills again, it could possibly help but no way to know

For some it may help to take a break, for others it makes it worse. Trial and error. If you decide to take a break make sure you’ve taken enough pills to suffice the break.
