A member asked:

I have started taking qlaira contraceptive 6 weeks ago and am spotting between periods. should i wait for it to normalise or change the meds?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Contraceptives: I would suggest you wait for it to normalize on its own. If this doesn't happen in 2-3 months, or you just want to get rid of the discomfort, you can visit a gynecologist and have him/her suggest a new method.
