I hope that someone can spread some light on this subject. I am a 20 year old and have been on ortho-cyclen for about 8 months now. I seem to end up switching birth control methods about every year because I start spotting inbetween periods but this time it is different. Now I will have my period for about a week, then have a clear week or sometimes two, and then I begin to spot what can only be described as tissue, like what you loose during your period. I just find it weird and don't know what is going on. It has been happening for about four months now and I went to my PA and she agreed that it was tissue but was certain I had missed a pill and told me to ride it out for a couple more months to see if it goes away. I just find this a little odd and wonder if anyone else has ever had this problem. Desperately waiting for a reply, Kristina

If I were you I would be running to another doctor for a second opinion. Because that it is not natural to spot tissue. Birth control medicine is such a dangerous thing to take anyway. So if I were you and I knew that something was going on that shouldn't be I would go to another specialist.
