Just started Ortho Tri Lo
| Sat, 06-19-2004 - 3:03pm |
I just started this month on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo and I have my period for only 2 day at the begining of the month, just yesterday it started up again with full force. I had some spotting about a week ago and now full on period! Does any one know why this could be? Thanks for any help to ease my mind :)

Irregular bleeding is a common side effect when starting or switching hormonal contraceptives. Also, if you haven't been taking your pills at the same time (+/-2 hrs.) each day the fluctuation in your hormone levels can cause irregular bleeding. Side effects from a new pill usually take about 3 cycles to disappear. If, after that time, you are still bleeding outside your placebo week then OTC-Lo probably isn't the pill for you. Let us know how you are doing, ok?
Good luck,
Jill
We will see how next month goes.
Thanks so much
