I have just started my 3rd week of OTCLo and I am still spotting from week 2! I have been spotting for 5 days now! Somedays it has been more like a light period. Is it normal to spot this long?

Hi uagirl,

If you are new to a pill, then yes, irregular bleeding is a fairly common side effect for the first 3 or so packs while your body adjusts to the hormones in your pills. You should see the side effects begin to taper off during your 2nd and 3rd packs.

Good luck
