I am glad to hear that the spotting has stopped. When I first started
taking the pill and it happened to me, I thought I was going crazy
because nobody I knew had expereinced spotting when they started on bc.
I'm glad I could be of some help and it's nice to know I am not the only
one this has happened to!
