what to do about breakthrough bleeding
| Tue, 11-02-2004 - 7:31pm |
I have been on ortotricylen lo for the past 3 months. while waiting for my prescription refill i skipped a 2 days. I am on taking the pills right now but i have had very annoying breakthrough bleeding for the past 3 weeks. It dosen't seem to be going away. I don't know if I should continue to take the pill or stop and let my body re-adjust itself (which it hopefully will) and then start back up again. Anyone else had this problem?

When I first started Yasmin a year ago I went through this breakthrough bleeding and was told by my dr. to just stick with it and NOT stop the pill but eventually it will go away. I think I suffered through it for about 3 weeks also.
After a while it went away except if I missed the pill like you did and there it was, back again. That was incentive enough for me to remember the pill. Then I went off Yasmin after 10 months on it and tried Seasonale. No breakthrough bleeding there but other side effects that made me want to go back to Yasmin. So here I am on my 1st month since going back to Yasmin and there it was again, that damn breakthrough bleeding. It so far has lasted 2 weeks and I often wonder how much blood could I possibly have in there to make it last so LONG..lol...but it's slowing down and hopefully it'll pass, although it's a mystery to me why I got it again considering I should have been used to Yasmin.
Anyway, sorry for the ramble. Hope some of it helped.
Good luck!
