Switching Pills, Spotting, When to Start New Pills? Posted: 10-10-05 13:29pm
I recently started velivet (generic for
cyclessa) 3 weeks ago. I stopped the
pills 2 weeks into taking it (per my
doctor) because I was very emotional and
could not stop crying. My doctor then
precribed me alesse (though the pharmacy
gave me the generic) and told me to wait
until I got my period to start the new
pills. I started spotting 2 days after
stopping velivet, this past saturday.
I'm not sure if this is my period or not.
My question is - should I start taking
the new pills now, or wait to see if I get
a period next week when it is due? (but
then if I don't get it, I may be waiting
another month!)

I would probably go on and start it now,
it probably wouldn't mess your cycle up
too bad if it wasn't your period. I
think that's how I did mine the first
time, because I just was spotting, and not
a full period. But, you might need to
ask someone else for sure? But i'd go on
and start them...
