Answer
Hi Michelle,
this could be your bodys way of trying to cope with a new thing in your body. I would wait a good 3 cycles to see if this stops, if it doesn't consult your gyn and get it reevaluated. Remember touse condoms til this is resolved to avoid any pregnancy until you are sure it is working properly.
