What Causes Brownish Spotting When On Microgestin Fe ?

I am on Microgestin Fe 1/20 as well as Bupropion HCL 300MG XL TAB ACT. I used to be on Sprintec (norgestimate and ethinyl estradiol .350/.035 mg. I have been on the new BC and generic Welbutrin for 3 months now. When I first started them, all my panties would get a red/brown color to them, like spotting, but never enough to warrant a tampon. The first month, my period came as usual; the second month I had literally about 30 minutes of bleeding (for the entire time). I kept waiting, but my period never came full blown . This is now my third month in, and I should have started my period already, and am still not having one, nor did I have spotting or the 30 minute bleeding this time.

Hi,

Since you have been not getting your regular period for the past 3 months, it is best to take a home pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
