Hi, I just posted about the brownish substance, I am assuming break through bleeding, that I have been experiencing. Now you said that it may take up to 3 months for my body to adjust, but is this going to be a daily thing for three months, or does it usually start and stop through the weeks? Any info would me much appreciated!!!

Tigress,

I recently also started the pill. I have been on it for a month now and the doctor told me that I would have the break through bleeding for a little bit before my normal period and then once I started to take the active pills it would go away. It has done just what my doctor has said. Just hang on and you body will work through it......

Hi Tigris,

A little breakthrough bleeding is normal. Heck, even a lot can be normal. My first month of BC I had breakthrough... uhhh, the whole month. :-( But then the second month it was gone.

Then I changed from one BC (I was on the ring) to the pill and mid month I've been having some bleeding. Hoping it will stop sooner rather than later. So don't worry, but keep tabs on it... :-)

Breakthrough bleeding would be more like bleeding. The brownish stuff is spotting; lighter than breakthrough bleeding. But like btb, it should go away after a couple cycles.....
