"about 4 weeks after starting this pill i started spotting. it was a brown color and was not enough for a pad/tampon or even panty liner. i could only notice it when i wiped. after 7 days i decided to stop taking the pill and let my period start. this did the trick and the spotting stopped. the period was not painful at all and i did not feel it at all which is wonderful. aside from the spotting i have no complaints from this pill. have been on it 7 weeks now."
