I have drops already, which is exciting but I am spotting all the time (have the wear a liner almost everyday). Since I have started the birth control pills I still had my period (light but there) 2 weeks ago for 4 days and yesterday started spotting a lot again...am I doing something wrong?

The spotting can be normal, but you shouldn't have a period. Jennifer

Some women do spot or have break through bleeding throughout their time on the bcps Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)

Good luck! mama to 3 beautiful adopted kiddos-Alexa (8), Angie(5), Jaxon (5) and hoping to bf our 4th little one...due March 2010!
