On the package it says for the first few months you can have irregular bleeding, which is fine - but mine is really weird.I don't just have spotting, I seem to have it all the time. Sometimes it's blood, and sometimes it's this sort of a brown discharge thing that just won't go away. I have it every day!I've tried contacting my gyno but she's extremely hard to get hold of so I figured I'd ask the women on here, is that normal? Have you experienced anything like that? I'm worried it'll never go away!

Sounds like you just need to have your doctor up the hormone dosage of your pill. Keep calling that gyno, they may do it for you over the phone. It can be remedied so don't sweat it honey.

You might have what they call "breakthrough bleeding." If your gyno is busy(can't believe he/she is so inaccessible - maybe reconsider having this person!)try going to a walk-in clinic. you need to have it examined by a doctor to find out exactly what the problem is. It may be nothing to worry about, but yousound like you need reassurance. Women bleed for all kinds of reasons, including stress. But I'm not a medical professional, so to be on the safe sidetry to see a doctor, even a general practitioner or Emergency Room person could examine you to make sure it's not dangerous. Maybe this pill is not right for you and you need a different kind.?
