You should see your health care
provider.Sometimes you need to try a few
different pills to see which one is right
for you.Some are too strong,others not
strong enough.I'm not familiar with the
brand you mentioned,there are so many.Tell
your doc or whomever you see what's going
on,you might need a different pill.Best to
you!Patty

There are hundreds of different types of
pills & as patty also said,i too am
not familiar with the one you mentioned.I
have been on 4 types of pills and like
many women, have used a trial & error
method to see what suits me best.What
suits me may not suit you as it all
depends on how your body reacts.The fact
that you've been bleeding like you have
isnt unusual-the pill can play havock with
your periods and make you spot at any time
however this must be uncomfortable so I
therefore suggest that you speak to
whoever you got the pill from &
perhaps try a new one.Like I said before
though,you may have to try several in
order to see what suits you
best wishes

Yes, yoay want to switch to another brand
of pill but this is your first cycle,
correct? Most problems like these will
work themselves out within 3 months and
after 3 months, if you still have
problems, then you should switch.
Otherwise you may switch so often that
your body never gets adjusted to the
hormones and nothing will work. Of
course, you must be your own judge but I
suggest waiting for 3 cycles and if it
doesn't fix itself, try another. Spotting
or strange periods are comman in the first
3 months.
