FIRST TIME ON THE PILL.....HELP
| Fri, 04-16-2004 - 11:28am |
ive just started taking ortho tri cyclen lo for the first time. i bled for about 10 days the first days i was taking the pill. i called my dr. and the nurse told me it was okay and that i was probably experiencing breakthrough bleeding along with my period, and thats why it was lasting so long. has this happened with anyone else? im on the 26th day of taking the pill now, and ive started my period. is it normal or okay to start early during the first month or so of taking the pill??

I'm not an expert here,but sometimes when starting a pill or switching to another pill there's a change in hormones and it takes a few weeks (sometimes months) for our bodies to get back to "normal"....I've had break through bleeding when I started a new pill....I know it's a hassle,but it's normal....The last "new" pill I was on (Micronor) caused me to have a period every 2 weeks for a few months-talk about not being happy....

I had this same problem with orthotricyclen lo, and my doctor switched me to a pill with a higher dose of estrogen. I was very happy with this other pill (desogen) and had no problems with breakthrough bleeding at all, so trying a new pill might be very helpful to you.
