stopping the pill
| Wed, 10-04-2006 - 10:25pm |
Hi everyone
Here's my question, not sure if anyone can help. My doctor has suggested I stop taking the pill due to my inability to stop spotting (we've tried so many diff. pills already that I cant even remember the names of most). and still cannot stop spotting, its incredibly aggravating so he suggested I stop them for a while because my body is requesting higher levels of hormones which he does not want to do. My question is, how long should I go without the pill and start again to be able to see the spotting stop?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out or has any input

You would want to at least wait it out
Hi everyone
I'm not overweight so thats not the problem with my spotting. My doctor has given me Ovocon 50 and I dont know what else and even that did not stop my spotting. He had mentioned staying off of it for about 3months but I dont know. I guess I don't wanna go too soon and have it happen again and just have it be a waste of time. He even had me do an ultrasound to make sure everything was ok and it was, so I don't even know what pill to use anymore. The one that worked for me for 2yrs was Ortho tri cyclen, once I started spotting with that it never ended. It's just soooo frustrating.
Thanks again for the replys

If you're on the pill, it's extremely likely that the spotting is caused by the hormones in the pill not getting along with your own hormones.
