I'm 16 & on the pill, and I was just on Tri-cyclen lo, but I was majorly having breakthrough bleeding, so my doctor just switched me on Alesse. I just started it 2 nights ago, and tonight I realized I've started to spot again!!
I've been dating my boyfriend for a few months, and I was having him over friday night.
Thing is, for the past few weeks we've been fooling around, but over-top clothing. Well friday, he was gonna go under them. But I can't let him go down my pants if I'm spotting!!
And my doctor told me I'll probably spot for a 2-3 months. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT THAT LONG!!!
PLEASE HELP

Im very open with my fiance but that could also be because im his fiance but i think that you need to tell him about the symptoms and what your doctor says about it. Hopefully he will be understanding. if not tell him that you can do something to him or maybe just wait. hopefully he understands and either does it but is just careful and doesnt care that your bleeding. i hope that helps [ TMZheartsJDMS022108's advice column | Ask TMZheartsJDMS022108 A Question ]

Give it a few days & I'm sure it should start clearing up. If it doesn't when your boyfriend is over, just let him know what's going on. Most guys are completely understanding about those deals! ♥ [ LiLMAMAx's advice column | Ask LiLMAMAx A Question ]

Explain the situation to your boyfriend. If he's reasonable he'll understand and be willing to wait a couple weeks before he does anything. Besides, if the new hormones work for you, you won't have breakthrough bleeding anymore, which must get in the way of things a lot more than spotting, right? Think of it that way =]
