I have been on Ortho-Tricyclen Lo for about 5 months now. Just recently I dealt with salmonella poisoning (stupid peanut butter)! I had to take Cipro which is an antibiotic. I took it for a week and suddenly I started bleeding! I've been off the Cipro for about a week now but I still am bleeding. It is not heavy bleeding, just the kind that you have when you get ready to start your period. I'm wondering if the Cipro did it, when I might stop bleeding, as well as what are the chances of me getting pregnant now!?

Please HELP!

UPDATE.....Just went to the restroom and discovered blood clots(lining?) in toilet!!! This stuff is making me nervous. Please somebody help me clear things up!

I was also on ortho tri cyclen lo. I would bleed constantly and also passed tissue. I thought I was having a miscarriage and was scared. I went to the ob-gyn and was fine. I was told this is a side effect of a low dose pill. I wouldn't worry, but go get checked out to make sure everything is ok.
