Hey,

I started on Ortho tri cyclen lo this month. Things were going fine till i got about 2weeks in taking the pills. I have been bloated a bit and spotting for a few days now. Not sure if this is normal to adjusting to the pills or what. I feel fine otherwise.

I was on the patch and didnt have this problem when i started it.

thanks

i think the patch is lower dose? that may have something to do with it.

spotting during a triphasic pill isn't that uncommon at first. it has to do with the changes in dosages of hormones each week of the pill. if it happens again next month you might want to ask your doctor about switching.

i remember when i was on OTC i didn't spot but man my tits hurt really really bad right about the second week for 2 days. then when i switched to a monophasic pill (lo-ovral) i didn't have any soreness.
