A member asked:
I'm on my first month of loestrin fe to dissolve an ovarian cyst. i'm on day 22 of my normal cycle but day 11 of the pill. i'm spotting. normal?

Can be: Normally we like to start pill on first day of period, but not always practical. The dose of the pill may not be high enough to offset your body's normal cycle and that could explain the spotting. The pill may blunt your normal period resulting in less bleeding than normal. I am assuming your gyn doctor recommending several cycles of pill. If issue continues, discuss with them. Change pill?
