Switching From Ortho Lo to Estrostep Posted: 12-26-05 23:14pm
I had alot of problems recently with ortho
tri cyclen lo so my doctor switched me to
estrostep. I'm 8 days late with my
period, but I spotted for 5 days when I
should have had my period. Is this
normal?

Many women have light periods while on the
pill, it is considered a benefit for some.
If you are 8 days late, a home pregnancy
test will be accurate. I would imagine
though that your periods lightness is due
to the pill.

Thanks for your reply. I took 2 hpt's and
they were both negative. When I started
on ortho lo 2 years ago I noticed a
lighter flow. But this is drastic!
Hopefully it will go back to normal soon.

I'm due for my next period next sunday.
Friday I noticed a little bleeding and
saturday I noticed some spotting.
Yesterday and today my boobs hurt and my
bras are to small. I havent taken another
hpt yet, I was waiting to see if I get my
period on sunday or not. I usually don't
get the whole boob thing going on with
pms. I usually don't have pms at all.
With the bc switch could it be that I
really am pregnant and the hpt's are not
showing anything?
