bleeding daily on Necon 1/35 generic

I started a very wimpy AF on June 1 and began my bcp Necon 1/35 that day. My AF came and went throughout the days and finally stopped on June 8th only to return following an HSG. I wake every morning without any bleeding. Three hours after I take the bcp I start to bleed again. I have noticed some clots coming out. I am new to this type of bcp. I always used Ortho Cyclen and never had this experience. I called my doctor and he wasn't concerned by this. I only plan to finish out my last week on this bcp before requesting another brand. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THIS SITUATION WHILE ON BCPS? I should mention that I do not have af without some kind of medical help. I will only be on bcps until I begin hormone injections to try to get pregnant. Any info would be great.

As unpleasant as it is, it's not dangerous and will subside in a few months. It's just breakthrough bleeding as your body adjusts to a different dosage of pill. Most women who experience it worry and ask for a different brand, but if they stuck out 3 months it would go away on its own. It might not be a bad thing, in that it could be your body ridding itself of a uterine lining that's built up for a long time. So I'd let it go for a while and let your body balance itself a little.

Thanks for the info. I really appreciate some insight. My concern is that this bleeding is going to interfere with my fertility treatments. I was only supposed to be on bcp's for a month or so until my treatments begin. I'll just have to discuss it with my doctor next week. Thanks.
