Venting..OTC lo
| Sun, 03-04-2007 - 8:47pm |
I'm on my first pack of otc-lo and have had good results (taking it for other reasons besides birth control). I'm gonna stay on it for those reasons and give it the 3 months for my body to adjust. But AF arrived while still on last 2 active pills. I'm on day 3 of inactive. The flow started out as light, almost discharge. Then heavy flow for the last four days. Heavier than I have had in almost 10 years. I've gone through so many tampons that it's crazy. I am very tempted to start the active pills in the next pack to see if I can get this to end sometime soon, especially if things don't get better in the next day. I have big plans this week and I don't want AF putting a damper on things. Anyone have luck with starting the next round of active pills to get things to end with otc-lo? So sorry for vent and adding new discussion, I know I need to give it the 3 months to adjust and it's all normal when starting the pill. Thanks :)

Personally I'd wait, but that's just me. Since it's your first pack I wouldn't want to try playing with getting your period to stop since you may end up with break through bleeding anyhow. Maybe someone will have some concrete advice for you. It does suck that it takes awhile for some women to adjust.
