| Tue, 09-14-2004 - 9:23pm |
ok ladies-- i read this board everyday and i ahve seen this answered somewhere in the last year or so-- but i cant find it so im gonna ask-- Im on my 5th month of OTClo i started spotting on labor day sunday and have been intermittenly spotting since then-- i started a decent flow yesterday --- i have 2 more active pills before i start this months placebos-
if my AF ends before i start my placebos will i still be protected during my placebo days?
Ohh yeah perfect pill taking regimen-- within 30 minutes everyday
Let me know what yall think!

If you have been taking your pills correctly you should be protected, regardless of irregular bleeding, up to and through the 7 24-hour days of your placebo week. We seem to be getting a rash of posts about late cycle bleeding on OTC-Lo recently. I hope yours stops soon. If not, you might want to consider a pill change. Let us know how you're doing, ok?
Take care,
Jill
I am going back for my annual in October and to get some more samples of OTC lo-- id be much happier if they would bring back lunelle but its not looking like thats gonna happen. :( anyway this is my first time taking a PILL but not my first time on BC i just wanted to check on that subject bc hubby is hesitant after he found out that my last week was placebos LOL-- just need some reassurance for him-- Thanks
As far as the late cycle bleeding i had it on my first 2 or 3 months then month 4 was fine and then it started labor day sunday back again-- just enough to notice when wiping. really weird-- anyway thanks for the help! we greatly appreciate it!
