I started taking bcp about 6 months ago to control the timing of AF - tired of being surprised by the arrival of. 2 months ago I started taking them with no break in between packs meaning no fake pills so I don't get AF at all. Out of the blue on Friday I get some light spotting. I checked and I hadn't missed any pills and I always take them before bed so not any delays in doses either.
Does this sort of thing happen to everyone who takes BCP? In all the years I'd taken them for actual birth control I never had this happen. Now that I am infertile, 45 and with my tubes tied I take them and get spotting. Arrgghh.
(This no AF system is an experiment to see if I can maintain newly restored iron levels w/o having AF to mess them up.)
