Spotting on Lybrel?
Posted: 05-28-08 00:03am

I started my third pack of Lybrel last Friday. I've been spotting since the middle of my second pack (roughly 3 weeks total) and it's starting to become annoying.

I knew this was a possibility when I switched pills, I just didn't expect it to last this long or be as heavy. Has anyone else experience this with Lybrel? If so, how long did it last? The info says most spotted through the sixth pack, which isn't very encouraging.

Yes, most women do spot through 3-6 packs, then you should have the real absence of a period.

It is not dangerous, but it can be annoying.

Almost exact same situation. I started bleeding towards the end of my second pack and I'm halfway through my 3rd pack and I'm still bleeding! It's not as heavy as a normal period, but it's enough to be very annoying and it's grossing me out. I'm also having mild cramps every now and then. The Lybrel website says that if you bleed for longer than a week you should contact your doctor. What do you guys think? It seems like I am not the only one going through this.

But do you have cramps that accompany the bleeding as well?

Thanks!
