Q: Breakthrough Bleeding

asked by: lucy2423 on May 10th, 2008

New User

I started using Ortho Try-Cyclen back in November of 2005. I have currently switched to Ortho Cyclen due to breakthrough bleeding while on Ortho Try-Cyclen. I have now taken 3 packs of Ortho Cyclen and with the last two (the current pack being one of them) I have breakthrough bleeding about 5 days before I'm supposed to start my period. It only lasts for one day. Is this any cause for concern? Could it just be my body getting used to the new pills? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah, it doesn't sound like something you need to worry about.

I'd stick it out for a few more months and see what happens. It could just be you getting used to it, or the ortho pills might just not be right for you.
