Hi I am a 21yr old female and have been
dating my bf for 6 months.I have started
using the pill this year and have so far
tried 3 pills. I started on yasmin then
levlen ed and am now on microgynon 50 ed.
All 3 pills have caused me to have
breakthrough bleeding everyday when taking
them. I have been on microgynon 50 ed for
1 month now and have just started to sugar
pill section and have gotten my proper
period. I have been bleeding for the
entire 21 other days though. My dr has
told me there is no stronger pill that she
can give me...Is this true? If so what do
I do next? My bf has been very patient
and has been very understanding through
all of this but it is getting very
annoying seeing as though I am too self
concious to have sex while bleeding. What
can I do? What is wrong with me? Please
help.

Hi:
unfortunately, this could possibly just be
the way your body is reacting to the pill.
I am sorry, I bet this is very
frustrating. Spotting is very common the
first couple months on the pill, and it
could be that switching is causing you
problems. I would give the pill you are
on right now a little more time, just so
your body can get used to it. Chances
are that the problem will get better with
time as you are regulated by the hormones.
If there is no improvement, then I would
consider another form of birth control,
like perhaps the nuva ring. It is just
as reliable as the pill, only different.
You can learn more about it on their
website... It think its www.Nuvaring.Com.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

Nuva ring is an excellent
reccommendation!
Many women who have spotting and other
problems on other birth control will do
fine on nuva ring! Also you can always
give your body a few months to adjust just
in case..

Yes, I experienced spotting on birth
control pills too, but my spotting occured
after I had been on the pill for a while.
I switched to the nuva ring and it's been
about 6 months and I have had no
breakthrough bleeding! I have had
discharge daily though. But this is no
big deal. My fiance doesn't notice it,
and it's not an infection.
