Good morning, I have been using oral contraception for 5 years. Originally, I used Atywia Daily, but due to the fact that around the 14th/15th day of the cycle there was brown spotting, which repeated notoriously for several months, I went to see a gynecologist. The doctor changed Atywie to Orliflique. After the first blister, there was no spotting in the middle of the cycle, there was spotting from withdrawal at term. Now, in the course of the second blister, the mid-cycle spotting has reappeared... It started on the 13th day of the cycle and has been going on for over a week now. The spotting is quite heavy (it looks like something is peeling off) and I also feel pain in my lower abdomen and breasts (which has never been the case with spotting in the middle of the cycle before). Should I go back and change my contraception? Is it normal that after a few years of using hormonal contraception, but after changing the medication for the first months, this can be the case?
Best regards
