Breakthrough Bleeding
Posted: 06-18-06 17:00pm

I am on 4th month of desogen and have had more spotting this first week than past 2 months. I had some spotting first month with switch from seasonale but the only other times have been on 21st day of 2nd and 3rd month. I have been really stressed at work and husband is changing job positions so I think that has added to it. Could this be the cause? I have thought about letting dr know, but read a reply to someone on this forum that it may take up to 6 months to adjust to hormones? This is the 3rd pill I have tried and dont want to trial another. Any information someone can give me would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Have you taken pills late? Missed pills etc? Are you on any herns or medications?

Somethings do interact with pills, like antibiotics, sanit johns wort, and topamax.

That would not cause a change..Are you significantly overweight? Or are you over 160 pounds? There are some reports that hevaier women need higher doses of birth control to keep a proper hormone level in their system.

Yes, am overweight, more than 160 pounds, trying to lose, but that is hard with the hormones too and, I think, my age, am 39

Most likely that could be why you are spotting! Have you considered an iud? They are hormone free and do not cause any hormone related side effects =)
