My guess is that the bleeding you are experiencing is caused by the difference between the weekly doses of hormones in OTC-Lo. As I mentioned before, women trying to skip their period on a triphasic pill will quite often have irregular bleeding due to the drop between the high level of hormones in week three and the low level in week one. Your bleeding may stop in a few days or it could continue until you have a hormone free few days to get your period.

Good luck,
