    It's going to take your body some time to adjust to the changes in hormones. You may have some type of 'spotting' for a few weeks.

    So is there any chance it will last like 4-5 days? A friend of mine said this happened to her too and her "spotting" only lasted a couple days....

    Possibly... Everyone is different. When I spotted on the pill it was generally 2-3 days, but for some it is longer.

    yeah it took me a few months to adjust to it, did your doctor give you a pamphlet on the type of pill and its side effects, and the rules of antibiotics, being sick etc?
    If your not completely happy after 6months try another type. They usually have a different amount of progesterone in them, which doesnt always agree with some people. I don't know what its like where you are but we have 4 types that are cost effective. Some can be wicked expensive but its all trial and error till you know which 1 is best for you.
