Those of you who use, or used OTC-Lo, once you started the 1st day of, or Sunday after your period, how long did your period last? Mine lasted about an extra day or two, and now I'm dealing with what I'm assuming is "breakthrough bleeding". It's not too bad, just annoying, it's been a lot of bloodclots, and now it's either clots or spotting. I'm wondering how long it's going to last. bah. Being a woman can be so much work!
How long did this last for some of you?
Other than that, I've had no seriously bad side effects. A little nausea, random headache here and there, and the occasional hormonal emotional spurt. lol.

Oh yeah!!!
What was your next period like after starting OTC-Lo????
thanks :)

I've never used that particular BCP but since no one else offered advice, I will say that with ANY pill it will take you a few months to sort of "normalize" again. If your period is a little longer than normal or you're experiencing breakthrough bleeding, it'll probably level out to something a little more predictable after 2-4 months.

thank you :)
I did some research elsewhere, and I'm more relaxed about things now. I was warned but not to the point the communities I looked at warn about BCP effects.
It's not as bad anymore, and I found out that since I take a Lechithin Supplement daily, I haven't been feeling B.C. side effects as much. I'm going to make a post about it, since it's a supplement that's pretty much available everywhere, and it's recommended to women on B.C.

Very cool, I'll have to check that out.

I've never had any real problems with OTC-Lo, and I've been on it for...8 months now (or close). However, earlier this year around January or February I think I had some real emotional problems where I would just randomly start crying and having panic and anxiety attacks for no reason.
Other than that, nothing has been really out of the ordinary, my period is even pretty much the same. A bit lighter, but not excessively so.
