alesse-28 .. help!
| Wed, 05-17-2006 - 10:12am |
I've been on Alesse-28 for about 3 months now and at the very beginning I noticed one side effect, which was the occasional light bleeding. Which I was told is totally normal. After about 2 months of taking the pill I finally got back to my normal cycle and the light bleeding stopped. I am on my third month of taking my birth control, I got my period the 1st day of May, but now I am starting to get that light bleeding again. Is this normal?

Hi amlks, welcome!

I'm on alesse 28 as well and have been taking it since January with no problems until this week. My period is not due for another week, but I've been having some light bleeding for the past couple days. Starting this pack of pills I changed the time of day that I took the pill by a couple of hours. Could this be the cause of the bleeding if I have not had this happen before? I had no side affects when I first started to take it, this is the first I've seen. Should I do the same thing and just wait it out for a couple of cycles? If I'm bleeding now should I still get my period next week? Are the pills still working properly if I'm seeing these side affects and/or now that I've changed the time of day?
Thanks so much for any info!
Hi belmontblonde, welcome back!

Thanks for the quick reply...I changed the time about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I started bleeding a couple days ago, just after starting my third week in this pack. The bleeding isn't really light (heavier than spotting), but it's certainly not as heavy as my normal period. I did start taking calcium & vitamine D supplements just a couple of days ago, so maybe that's the cause of it...?
I'm going to the doctor for a pap smear & perscription refill on June 1st anyway, so I'll certainly mention it then. I'm overly paranoid about pregnancy (since I made a HUGE mistake before and had an abortion a little over a year ago), but I'm taking my pill regularly, even though the time is a little different now, I still take it at the same time every day.
Again, thanks for the help. Any thoughts on whether calcium or vitamine D might be the cause?
