Ok, might be TMI, but i don't care and i need some feedback.
i was supposed to get my period the week of my wedding, so i skipped the last week of my bcp's last month and went straight to a new pack to offset the period. and now i've been spotting for a month already! it's not a lot, but it's every single day. i knew my body would probably have to get used to it, but i didn't know it would take a month.
any other experiences with this??

Re: BCP question !
I've heard of this happening and I've been warned about it, but the most it ever happened to me was a week or so. Everyone's body reacts differently when we try to change the natural 'flow' of things (no pun intended, but )
I wouldn't worry so much about it for now, but if it stays like that for even longer, I'd call the gyno.

Re: BCP question !
I definitely spot when I skip - it's not uncommon. I wouldn't worry about it. Once you have your period and get back to your regular pill routine it will stop.

Its very common to spot when you skip thats why my doctor recommends not skipping.

Re: BCP question !
Hey...it is totally natural to spot. Some people don't and some people do (it depends on your body, how heavy your flow is usually etc etc...). it is a warning that we usually give when speaking of this option. If you want more info, please feel free to FM me.
In the meantime, don't worry, it is completely NORMAL!
