A member asked:
Is it normal for bcps to cause spotting after 9 months of taking them? i thought side effects happened earlier on.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily : They can happen at any time, especially if you're taking a generic & undergo a generic product change. Hope that helps.
