Skipped placebos and bleeding for 10 days straight

Side effects!?

I’m on Alysena 28 and I just missed my second period due to skipping placebo pills, and I’ve been spotting for 10 days straight.

It’s not heavy I’d say — I’m wearing size 1 pads and changing it 2-3x a day. Most days I get cramps too (anywhere from 1/10 to 6/10 on the pain scale) and it kind of sucks because I feel like I’m on a “baby period” all the time when I wanted to just not have a period.

I know spotting is a side effect of skipping placebos but I’m not sure how much spotting is normal and how much is a cause for concern
