2w ago dr switched me from ortho to lo loestrin fe. yesterday lil more then started spotting , followed by nothing. same today. period or bc change?

Prob from the change: Very common for that to happen the 1st month when you switch to a less strong pill , as long as it is not heavy hopefully should go away by the next pack, but your doctor should have told you to possibly expect that when the doc put u on the lolo that is one of the things i always tell my pts, you are on a much better and safer pill now.
