What and is this normal?
| Sat, 04-03-2004 - 9:58pm |
Hi everyone,
I just started taking Ortho Tricyclen Lo about a week ago when I first started my period, before this I used to use the Depo Shot. And I guess my question is that my period was supposed to end about 3 days ago and it has but I am still secreting a dark brown substance. I am not sure if this is what break through bleeding is considered or what. Any ideas as to what this is and if it is indeed normal and when it could stop. It is making me a bit self conscious to be intimate with my b/f. I do not want to be shy with him but I feel gross and abnormal. Thank you a bunch.

Your body is becoming accustomed to estrogen again so it will take a bit of time to settle into a stable routine. Side effects normally take 3 cycles or so to disappear. Yucky, I know but bf shouldn’t panic. It sounds well within the range of ‘normal’ to me.
Good luck
