"i&#039;ve been on ortho tri-cyclen lo for about 6 years with no issues. my pharmacy gave me this generic and i was not thrilled but decided to try it since it was covered by my plan. i started spotting as soon as i started the new pack and kept going through the month. i&#039;m at the end of week three and have been using tampons because i was having enough breakthrough bleeding to require it. it&#039;s friday, i&#039;m supposed to start placebo pills sunday and would usually start my period the following tuesday. i&#039;ve had breakthrough bleeding plus more for the whole month. this sucks!"
