Q: Spotting Every Other Month

I'm taking ortho triclyclen lo and have been on it for a year (i was on the original ortho for 4 years prior) I switched b/c I was having spotting. It seems like I have spotting every other month. Does this happen to anyone else? Like one month things are fine, and then next there is all kinds of spotting. The stronger the dosage each week, the more the spotting. Just wondering. Thanks! :d

I had that on otcl. But it went away after awhile. It could help if you switched to a monophasic pill (otcl is triphasic, so the 3 lvls of hormones over 3 weeks could mess you up)
