Hey all,

I was here about a month ago and I had breakthrough bleeding for the first time in 4 years. I talked to my doctor and she is positive the homeopathic flu remedy oscillococcinum was the cause of it. I had taken it a day or two before and then I started bleeding (this had happened a week after I finished my last period). So I just wanted to let everyone know if you must take this product, use backup contraception or abstain all together. Although, I don't know about you all but when I have the flu I do not feel particularly amorous so it may not be a problem >.< However, I wanted to let everyone know.

Take Care
