Hi, I was put on lo/ovral -28 in july this
year for period regularity reasons and
also I became sexually active. Up until
now, it has been great, I have had steady
periods that were consistent. The pills
I take include sugar pills, when I get to
the sugar pills on the last sunday of my
packet, I normally get a little spotting
and don't get a normal flow until
wednesday or thursday.
It's monday and i'm on my sugar pills and
I have seen no signs of spotting
what-so-ever. I guess i'm a little
worried but curious if it is normal to
stop spotting? Do you just spot because
your body is getting used to the
medication or what?
I feel sort of crampy and bloated but I
don't know if my head is just messing with
me because there is the possiblity of
pregnancy.
Thank you for taking the time to read.
Your replies are important to me!

I'm going to say that is prob normal to
stop spotting the only reason u were was
cuz of the hormone change. And now ur
body is prob used to it.... Just a
guess!

I had been on the pill for ten years and
my period would change every now and then.
It usually started on wednesday but
sometimes it would be thursday, or tuesday
so it will vary a little. I don't think
you will spot after you get used to taking
it unless you miss a couple of pills.
Hope this helps!

I agree with these ladies.You should be
getting your period and I would not
worry-unless you have skipped pills or
have been on antibiotics.Sometimes you can
skip your period altogether while on the
pill.A little scary at first,but as long
as you know you are not pregnant,it is
fine!Good luck to you!!Patty
