Hi there! I've been taking the same BC - ortho-tri-cyclen for YEARS. Since I was 15. I'm 25 now. They switched me to just the generic brand Monessa after having my son in 2011. I only have one kiddo. So I had no problems or concerns. I lost 30 lbs last summer-winter eating healthier and working out. No weight loss pills or anything crazy. Just normal what you should be doing normal routine, anyways I started to develop acne towards the middle of Fall last year and it really flared up this year when I started weightlifting. I started thinking it was a hormonal imbalance since it's a common problem for some females. Anyways, Last month, I got minor spotting going home to visit family and figured it must have been stress even though I didn't feel stressed out going home to visit family - it happened for a few days, went away and got my period fairly on time and 5 days as usual. Well here I am and I started spotting again mid-month except it's NOT going away... In the morning it's not there but by the end of the day it's there and it literally feels like I'm slightly bloated when it starts happening. I took a pregnancy test and it came back negative, I take my BC contraceptives everyday. Any idea what this is? I'm working on getting an appointment set up but it more than likely won't be till December with the financial situation with our insurance being set up.
