What Causes Prolonged Menstruation While On Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo?
Hi. I have been on Ortho Tri Cyclen Lo (28) for almost 5 years. I make sure that I take all of my pills even if I miss one I will take it the next day. My period was suppose to end last tuesday and I still have some light pink and/or dark brown to light brown spotting. I was wondering could this have something to do with my weight or anything like that?

Hello, welcome to HCM. I understand your concern. It is quiet common to few ladies . This is due to disturbance in the hormonal level. After five days of gap, you start the next month tablets. The bleeding will stop, As this tablet contains hormones which will stabilize the hormonal level in the body.You relax and this is nothing to do with your weight. Take care.
