Heavily bleeding after missing 3 Spiro doses

HI GIRLIES & MENSTRUATING PALS! I really need your advice.

I forgot to take 3 doses of Spironolactone and now I am HEAVILY bleeding. My period is not due for a week and is extremely regular so I know it has to be the Spironolactone.

I haven't noticed a difference on the Spiro and am thinking this is my sign to stop taking it.

My question is:

  1. Has this ever happened to anyone else/how long did the bleeding last?

  2. Should I STOP taking Spiro now and just bleed until my period next week (and hopefully after my period, the bleeding will just stop)?

  3. I'm planning to start Ortho-Tri-Cyclen birth control for hormonal acne after this period and hope it helps... any advice greatly appreciated!

Thank you so so much everyone!!!!

Burning a BB CD from iTunes files

Has anyone successfully burned a Bad Bunny CD by downloading the album on iTunes? I tried to burn the DTMF cd by downloading the digital album from BB’s website but it didn’t work (none of the songs have any sound on the CD), so figured I would ask before trying with UVST!

Acne came back 6 months later

Hi! I finished Accutane (full 9 months course) in October 2025; I did everything by the book, no missed doses, and went beyond my cumulative dose.

In April 2026 (6 months after finishing Accutane), I noticed breakouts when on my period— they would pop up suddenly and then go away. But since then, I have painful, consistent breakouts all along my jawline that don’t go away.

Pre-Accutane, my acne was on my cheeks, so this is in a new location than before. I’m so disappointed because I thought I was free from acne.

I started Spironolactone 50 mg now and Tretinoin cream, but honestly I don’t see a difference yet. Has anyone else (particularly females or assigned-female-at-birth) experienced this after Accutane?

Would love any advice and advice on any hormonal bloodwork to get 🙏🙏

Hormonal acne (28F) after accutane?

Hi there! I finished a 9-month course of Accutane (reached past my cumulative dose) in October 2025. Now that it’s been 7 months being off of Accutane, my skin is DEFINITELY much clearer, with only 1-2 breakouts around my period & I’m using Tretinoin to maintain.

However, lately, I’ve been having 3-5 painful breakouts along my left jawline/neck, even not during my period. I know this is where hormonal acne typically shows up, but I’m obviously really disappointed and scared my acne is going to come back. Just wondering if any other women have experienced this?
