I've been taking Lutera since september of
last year. It was working well till this
month. After my last period I had some
breakthrough bleeding that scared me. I
thought it was implantation bleeding
because I had sex during days which would
be considered my ovulating days I guess.
But I took 5 pregnancy test. (Yes I was
spooked!) 3 home, 1 clinic and one at my
dr's appointment. My nurse practitioner
said that it could be because Lutera has
the lowest dose of estrogen I might need
to change pills.
Anyone have anything like this? What pill
might be good for me?

I have not experienced anything like this
using ortho-novum. I think people are
going to react differently to different
medications. I had some spotting once a
while ago, but I think it was because I
missed a pill then had to take two in one
day. You can talk to your doctor about
trying a new pill and see how your body
responds. Good luck.

Thanks. Yeah I went to sleep one night
before the time to take my pill and so I
had to take it right when I remembered.
That might have started the spotting/early
bleeding. I might wait till my last 4
packs is done then change.
