"i&#039;m going to post what some other people have mentioned: you apparently need to give your body quite a bit of time with this. i started taking mine in august and am now on my final few pills before i need a new pack. august, i was free of spotting. september, i practically had a regular period. october, lighter but longer. it&#039;s almost constant now, but very light. i was debating even getting another pack because i hate bleeding but apparently sticking with it for a year will cause your body to start responding without the spotting. let&#039;s hope!"
