Hi,

I've just switched from Tri-Cyclen to Alesse and am now experiencing mid-cycle spotting. Is this normal when you switch to another pill? Thanx.

Yes 'tis! Breakthrough bleeding is common when you switch to a new pill, I've had it particularly when going to a lower estrogen dose as you have. Not to worry!

Good luck...
