Ok day 6 and still bleeding ! When will this end? It started last Thursday with a cramp and then bleeding now it goes from stopping to light brown spotting to bleeding again.

called the dr yesterday and she changed my bcp but told me to finish this pack of Loestrin FE. The new ones are Levlen Could being perimenopausal have anything to do with this? Before I went back on the Pill last Oct my periods were all over the place but lately they have seemed to be a little more predictable-- till now. I sucks being a female right now!

The thing is the latest I have taken a pill is 15 minutes since I started. I did start a multivitiman with some herbs in it last week -- no st johns wort . I stopped that when the bleeding started. I lost a few pounds last week too -- 5-6.

the loestrin was good the 1st and 4th month -- considering this is the 5th month and I am spotting/bleeding -- dont think I will stick with it. maybe the levlen will help.
My old dr had me on ovcon for 5 months a year ago and I spotted 3 weeks out of every month -- only time I didnt spot was on the placebos. Heck ever since I missed on period on Trivora and the dr switched me and declared me in menopause(yeah right)this has been a crap shoot to whether I bleed or not.

Just got to thinking I never had this breakthru bleeding problem when I was on tripashic pills -- it started when the dr put me on monophasic ones over a year ago.That explains a lot doesnt it?

I had been on it a long time and skipped my period on it for the 1st time . Older dr ( but not wiser ) decided that I needed to change pills.
