Just started taking OTCLo on March 7th. Starting yesterday, I have had something similar to a light period, with some slight cramps. Is this just my body adjusting the the hormones, or is there a problem? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi uagirl, welcome!

What you are experiencing is not unusual. Irregular bleeding is a common side effect of OCs for the first 3 packs or so as your body adjusts to your pills. You should see the side effects beginning to disappear next cycle.

Good luck
