Is spotting or breakthrough bleeding normal while on the Pill?
• In the first 2 or 3 months of Pill use, it is not uncommon for some women to experience breakthrough bleeding or spotting or bleeding between periods as their bodies adjust to the hormones. The good news is that ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO has demonstrated low rates of breakthrough bleeding and spotting. In an Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. clinical study, fewer than 1 in 5 ORTHO TRI-CYCLEN® LO users reported these potentially embarrassing side effects in their first month on the Pill. If after the first 3 months, you experience irregular bleeding that lasts for more than a few days, talk to your healthcare professional.
