what's up?

This is my 5th cycle of using Loestrin FE 24. Last month was like a dream no spotting breakthrough bleeding and my period came when expected. This my 2nd week on the 5th pack and today I started cramping and spotting. Is my body still getting used to the pill or could this just be some more of my perimenopausal crap?

the only thing that has really changed is my vitamins. I got a woman's blend that has some herbs in it --not St john's wort but wild yam and dong quai are in it . Also some soy and a few others that old eyes cant make out on the tinier than meant to be read list on the label. The bleeding/spotting has eased quite a bit today so maybe it will stop by tonight.

I'm 33, and I am also on Loestrin FE. I seem to spot pretty easily on it--especially if I'm even a little late with a pill during weeks 2 or 3. This month (Month 4), I've been obsessive about taking it right on time. This is the first month with no spotting, so I'm thinking that I'm on the right track.

Hope that helps. Good luck.
