I was started on the birth control (alesse) not to long ago, and i took only one month pack. I was verrry moody and mean during that month, so I went back to my gyno to try something different. She gave me Ortho-Tri Cyclen LO? I started those pills the same day I started my period. It never really made my period go away. I stopped taking ortho - lo because i didn't llike it and started right back on my alesse.. I'm still spotting?:mad: I think it's spotting im not really sure whats going on. I have a brown discharge coming out about twice a day.. it's not at all heavy.. it doesn't even go through my underwear. It's just annoying. My boyfriend and I had sex twice..the first time nothing happened.. the second time it was kind of every where.. i just want it to stop! Anyone have any advice? I've called my gyno and she pretty much told me it will go away after my next period.. but I just feel the need to make sure it doesn't sound like something else...:confused:

You know i've had this problem with every birth control i've started. And it's caused me to always stop taking it because i just can't stand spotting like that every day. But i started taking Yasmin about 2 1/2 months ago and this time i was determined to wait it out and see if it stopped. I spotted every single day the first and second month. And it wasn't red spotting either, it was brown and not too noticeable just mostly annoying. Then when i started my third pack of pills it finally stopped. I know it's inconvenient but if you're willing to wait it out, your body should get used to it in the first 3 months. I've always been told that but didn't really believe it. I thought if it made me spot then the hormones weren't right for me. I guess it just takes your body time to adjust. Hope this helps ya!

did you have sex at all during your spotting? if so - did it effect it?!

I only had sex maybe 5 times in that 2 months. And when i did it really didn't have much of an effect except maybe made me spot a little heavier the next day. I'm glad it's stopped though cause i was ready to give up again!
