I Start a Period After Two Weeks of Proper Birth Control Use Posted: 06-16-06 11:08am


I will take my birth control (ortho tri-cyclen lo)everyday at the exact same time and after two weeks of use, I start spotting brown and then something more red like a period starts. This has happened for 3 months now. The first two months I thought it happened because I missed a day or took the pill at the wrong time or something. But this month I did it all right and it still happend. What should I do? Go to the doctor huh.

This can be completely normal and I wish more doctors would talk to their patients about the possibilities of break thru bleeding. You are fine, there is nothing wrong and it should go away after your body adjusts to the hormones. Good luck!

If you do not adjust ask your doctor for a new kind of pill. It is good to give it some time for adjustment, but 3-4 months is really all it should take.
