abnormal uterine bleeding
"I am a 32 year old women and this is the first time that I've taken birth control pills. My doctor recommended birth control pills to alleviate the pain I was experiencing and heaving bleeding associated with uterine fibroids.  I am currently on the second week of the pack and the only complaint I have at the moment is the breakthrough bleeding or spotting after my period.  I've only been spotting for 5 days and hoping it will go away.  I've noticed a new breakout--a pimple but occasional acne is normal for me.  Haven't noticed any weight gain but after reading other reviews, I purchased a scale to monitor my weight.  Will keep you posted as I continue to take the pill."
