So my mom and I planned to go on vacation for 10 days but sadly my period was supposed to start on the day we leave.

My friend recommended that I skip my placebo pills or sugar pills and move on to my next set of pills so my period doesn’t start. Although it did start the day we left while I was on the plane. Luckily I brought some tampons just in case.

I’ve bled for the duration of my whole vacation and I’m still bleeding. It’s been 13 days. Did my body just react differently? Should I get myself checked?

(My birth control is Alesse and it’s the 28 days cycle if any of you were wondering)
