A member asked:
I have very irregular periods and recently started diannette and have experienced very heavy spotting less than a week after my period ended, is it ok?

Likely it is: A new birth control pill can sometimes cause a woman's hormonal axis to take a while to adjust. It may take a cycle or two before abnormal bleeding or spotting stops. If it doesn't normalize by the end of the second cycle, talk to your physician about changing to a new pill.
