Switched birth controls....?

Question

Hi, I've been on Yaz since the beginning of July and just last Sunday switched pills and started Sprintec.

I was in the middle of my period at the time, and noticed that it lasted a bit longer than usual and realized it was because I was spotting. (I figured I'd go sailing smoothly into the new BC...not)

Well, I stopped spotting and everything went back to normal, and then Friday night I had s*x. Starting yesterday, I've been spotting/bleeding with teeny tiny bits of cramping...is this normal since my body is still getting used to the new pill?

Answer 1

Yeah, it happens with some meds, and withother it might not...

I started on the Patch, and a year later switched to the Ring... No problems... then, a year or so later I switched to OrthoNovum (pill) and I spotted a few times the first month and a half... Nothing too bad...

Last April I switched to Mirena (IUD) and it was heavy spotting and cramping for almost 2 1/2 months!!! Bummer!

But now everything got back to normal, and I haven't had a period in months ! I am so happy (It's supposed to happen that way on the IUD)

It's so worth it!

What you are going through is normal... Just put up with it for a little bit more, and it should be fine...
