Bleeding In-Between Periods - Women's Health Message Board

Hi all. For the last 2 months cycles I have started a week early. Not real heavy, but enough to where I do have to wear a liner every day. This continues for that week off and on until my regular time to start. I have spotted earlier than a week before but that's it, just spotting. I'm not due to start for 10 days and I started yesterday. ERRRRRRRRRR. I've always been extremely regular, right down to the day and in the morning. Any advice or ideas? (yes, I am on birth control, nothing has changed with me otherwise). Thank you.

are you on a low estrogen pill? sometimes those can cause breakthrough bleeding (spotting between periods). maybe you can call the md and ask them.
hope it's not bid deal.

Hi there. I am on "Trivora" which is a cheap version of Trilevelin. I've been on birth control pills for 15 years. I've been on this cheap version since Sept. 2003. I'm even wondering if I've been on them too long. The only time I ever stopped was when I was pregnant with my 2 children. AFter having each of them, I went right back onto the birth control.

i'm not familair with that particular brand but again my guess is that it's a low estrogen brand and that is what's causing the bleeding. just ask your md or pharmacist. i'm glad to hear that you have 2 kids. so you're not struggling with a fertility problem. i usually post to the ttc (trying to conceive) board. my hubby and i have been ttc for 5 months. so the first thing that crosses my mind is a reproductive issue.
hopefully yours will be a problem that is easily solved. but a woman's work is never done, is it!!
best of luck.
