2 Weeks Of Breakthrough Bleeding On First Pack?
(Newest replies first)

i started my first pack on the first day of my period on the 18th and though my period usually only lasts about 4 days, i've been lightly albeit consistently bleeding ever since. it's now 10 days later and i'm going nuts. my boyfriend is coming back from traveling for over a year next week and i'd really like to not be still spotting gross brown discharge when he gets here. will it stop or am i doomed to 3 months of this?

I started taking loloestrin 10 mcg on 12/1/14, had no bleeding for a week and then started "breakthrough Bleeding" It's now 1/15/15 and I have had bleeding everyday. It's not terrible huge bleeding but a consistent light bleed. I have 2 submucosal fibroids and had heavy periods. The doctor put me on this and told me to only take"active" pills (blue), when I called the office they told me to stay on them that this bleeding sometimes takes 3 months to resolve. Is this correct? It's really annoying. I have heard that sometimes the dose is too low and causes this bleeding, but I'm 47 and concerned about taking a higher dose of estrogen. Should I just stay on this and see if it works itself out. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You!!

Hello, Emz! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having.

This doesn't mean that it will continue for all 3 months, but it is possible.

Have you contacted your doctor? You might want to do so, just to be sure and to see what they say you should do.
