Ok, it's only been 6 days. But, just when I think it's slowing up...it starts again. I've only just finished month 2 of OTC-Lo. I know I need to give it 3 months. But, I just want to vent.
In week 3 of my 2nd month, on Thursday, I started bleeding. (Happened just the day before I was to see my boyfriend. He lives 4.5 hours away, and it had been 4 weeks since we'd seen each other.) On Friday, it was as much as a full-blown period. I've been having heavy spotting ever since.
I took my last active pill of the second month on Saturday. I was tired of bleeding, though, and just started my 3rd month pills on Sunday, skipping the inactive pills for the 2nd month. Maybe that wasn't the best tactic? Doesn't really matter, cause I'm still bleeding!
(BTW, I've been taking my pills every day - same time. I was sick for a couple of days in week one but that was a good two weeks before this breakthrough bleeding began.)
Oh, and I'm actually seeing my boyfriend again next week, for Christmas. We rarely get to see each other this close together. I'm going to be really PEEVED, if I'm still bleeding!!!
(edited to add a vent about YEAST INFECTIONS. I'm getting them every other week. I do a treatment, am fine for a week, and then it comes back...)
