What Causes Spotting After Switching To Different Brand Of Contraception?
Hi, I have been on Microgestin Fe 1/20 for about 5 months and last month switched to Microgestin Fe 1.5/30 to assist breakthrough bleeding. It is working out however, prior to switchjng doses my acne had cleared up GREATLY but since I began the new dose I have had more acne and breakouts. I was wondering if this is a typical side effect of switching doses, if I should switch brands completely or if stress from school etc. is to blame. Thanks

Hello,
Spotting and irregular menstruation are quite common with OC pills as they are hormonal preparations. Don't worry. If it becomes troublesome. See your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
