Spotting and Birth Control... Need a dr's advice
July 18, 2008
I'm feeling a bit frustrated. Dr. Q, you are already aware of this, but let me recap anyways...
I stopped bleeding completely around 3 1/2 weeks post partum (I think I'm accurate on when) Anyhow, I started the mini pill, and right around 5 1/2 weeks I started spotting again. It continued until my checkup at 7 weeks.
My midwife told me to take the combination pill and it would stop the spotting.
It DID stop the spotting within two days, but after 5 days, my milk was drying up significantly so I went back to the mini pill
Today is day 3 of the mini pill, and I started spotting in the middle of the night!!
Do you think I'm just spotting as a withdrawal bleed b/c of taking the combo pill?
If I continue spotting/bleeding after a few days.. could the mini pill be CAUSING the bleeding? If so, would stopping the mini pill all together make it go away?
I don't want to never be able to have sex again.. haha... and if the mini pill is going to cause me problems, as is the combo pill, then dh can suck it up and use a condom, b/c this can't go on forever...
Any advice from a medical professional? :)
