Understanding Postpartum Spotting: Causes & What to Do

Question
Since having my daughter, she is 2 now, I have been on 6 different pills, with a break while pregnant with daughter #2 who is 3 months old, and I always spot during week 2 & 3. This is hard for my husband and I. When not taking the pill this isn't a problem. We want to get pregnant in about 1.5 - 2 years. What should I do?

Answer
Hello Melissa,

Thanks for your question. I'm not a doctor so I urge you to contact your own physician.

I really can't recommend a hormonal kind of birth control method. I feel that hormones are risky to your health. You could try condoms and/or a spermicide. Please email me at DCHERYL51@yahoo.com and we can talk more by email.

Sincerely,
Diane Cheryl
