What is UP with the spotting???

Okay, I have been on the patch for over 7 months. Everything was fine and dandy until last month when I started spotting, and I have been spotting every day since then and it's getting heavier. At first it was hardly something to bat an eyelash at, but now it's almost like a light period. It's annoying the heck out of me and it's making it impossible for me to enjoy sex.

My fiance is joking with me right now, asking me "Hey, if I were to smack you around a little bit, would it re-align your body chemistry? Who knows, maybe it's like re-booting a computer!" Hang on while I smack HIM around a little bit, LOL.

Okay, now that that's done, does anyone have any ideas on what I could do to stop the spotting?

I'd call my doctor and see about switching to something else if it were me! It's not likely to stop on its own, sometimes it does, but if this has been going on for longer than one patch cycle, it might be time to switch to something else. It happens!

Sorry it's inconvenient...
