BCP and spotting

Does anyone else spot while on BCP? My nurse said this is common....but may also mean I need to increase the dosage....

TIA!?

Re: BCP and spotting

  • i don't spot on bcp's but it is very common

    are you on a strong dose of bcp's?  i always ask for the lowest form of it since it gives me migraines

    sorry i'm not much help

    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

  • I started taking BCP on the first CD1 post d&c. I was instructed to skip the sugar pills and stay on active pills non-stop. When I skipped the sugar pills and started the new pack I started full on AF like bleeding and it lasted for 17 days straight. I called my RE's office several time about the bleeding and they said it was "breakthrough bleeding" and totally normal. Hope that helps in some way!

  • I never did when I was on them while preventing...but am (and have been) currently on a very low dosage and if I'm even a couple of hours late taking my pill, I will have brown spotting for a few days - god forbid if I forget to take my pill until the next morning bc then I spot until the end of the cycle.  Miserable.
