I have been on dianette since our 6wk check (ds is 10 1/2mths), and since my last pill break/ period 2 wks ago i have had spotting for a few days each week. I have not been ill or missed one like it suggests in the info book, so why?, and does this mean i should change it or that its not workin properly?. I was on dianette years ago befor we were ttc and had no probs with it. I cam not keen to change it as it is the only pill that helps contorl my hideous acne. I am also not suited to 2 other kinds because of previous bad reactions ( migraines and chest pains) Can you ladies offer any advice?

I have been told by a few docs that spotting is not an indication the pill isn't working for BCP purposes... but I am not sure just what causes the spotting to occur, especially when you have been on that pill for a while with no probs.

I'd wait and see what happens on the next pack or two before deciding to switch pills, if you were otherwise happy with that pill.

I have been spotting also! I haven't had a baby, but I have been on Lo-Ovral for over a year and a half and then last month, I had slightly discolored discharge ALL MONTH! I didn't think anything of it at first because it was after my period, but then it continued throught the entire month. I don't think it is happeneing this month. It was soo slight I could only notice it if I wore white underwear. I chalked it up to stress, because I moved last month. Please post if you hear anything else about what could be causing this. I am not too keen on switching pills either. Take care--Lisa
