Abnormal Uterine Bleeding
"I am a 32 year old women and this is the first time that I&#039;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&#039;ve only been spotting for 5 days and hoping it will go away.  I&#039;ve noticed a new breakout--a pimple but occasional acne is normal for me.  Haven&#039;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."
