What Causes Vaginal Spotting While On Femilon?

Hi Doctor Im 27yrs old and married for 1.5 yrs. I have been diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and my doc has given me femilon tablets for d same. I took them for 3 cycles and have again started it from the last cycle after a gap of about 5months. But recently I have started spotting. This time I had a normal cycle (5-6days) but continued to spot after that n I m still spotting. I started my periods on 17/12/15 and m still spotting though its not too much.is there a reason to worry?

Hi
Thanks for the query to HCM.
Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease ( PCOD or pcos i.e syndrome ) is often caused by hormone changes.
The symptoms and signs are :
Acne , obesity , scanty menstruation , irregular menstruation , dysfunctional bleeding , hirsutism .
As I mentioned above these are very common symptoms . Femilon is birth control pill .
Using birth control pills can sometimes help regulate hormone levels so that cysts can be taken care of .
So in your case this is right medicine and spotting is not unusual so need not to worry .
Get in blood examination regularly for hemoglobin level .
Hope this information will be useful for you.
Further if any question I will reply happily.
Good luck.
