Previous Thread Next Thread Print Thread accelerated protocol and spotting after 6 weeks #11658 09/29/08 03:34 PM Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 3 H helenb OP newbie OP helenb newbie H Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 3 I have been on the accelerated protocol for 6 weeks and have seen breast changes (increased breast size, tenderness, heaviness). I am planning to stop Yasmin and start herbs and pumping (my adopted baby is with me and 3 months old). I am now spotting and I feel like I'm about to get my period despite the fact that I'm continuing the Yasmin. Is spotting common? Is there a standard way to deal with it? Should I continue with my plan to stop Yasmin and start herbs and pumping? Or do you recommend some other action? Thanks, thanks, thanks. Copy Link to Clipboard

Only I would nurse with a lact-aid and pump after feeds when you can. Baby at breast is much more efficient than any pump on the market.

jenmarko extra helpful experienced member J Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 675 Illinois	I spotted halfway through my 8 months on the BCP's. Almost like a light period. It had no impact when I finally started pumping. Good luck. Have you tried putting her to breast at all? Jennifer
