I am on regular protocol and have been for about 9 weeks now - last week af came but doesn't seem to want to leave!!!! It was a normal af for about 5 days and now I just have breakthrough amounts every day (it's been about 2 weeks now). Is this normal? Any ideas? I am on Ortho 1/35 which I take every morning with my dom, only active pills, and 20 mg dom/ 4 times a day. Thank you! Copy Link to Clipboard

I was on the accelerated for 39 days. When it was time for af it lasted for 11 days. Then af didnt come after stopping the bc pill that is ok with me!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> and that was way over a month ago.

I finally stopped and started pumping, even though we had no baby in sight, because I was tired of dealing with the breakthrough bleeding. It will get better, but it will be back. Everyone is different, and there's really no way to know when it will stop. I always wore a pantyliner, as I never knew what was going to happen. I had a full supply for ds, though, so it was totally worth it. wife to Jim, mommy to Daphne and Jeran and Jalen

I thought it was because I took the BCP a couple hours late a few days ago. I'm so glad it is normal! --Irma, mama to two princes, 5 and 3, and our brand new daughter, Larissa!
