I just turned 21 & my gyno started me on Mianstrin Fe. we opted for starting on the Sunday after I started my period. I have been on since August 30 (13 days) & am spotting terribly. however, this didn't start until Sunday. is this normal??? I have read the instruction packet front to back-several times- & it says spotting is normal. but the whole reason for getting on BC was to have SEX. & who wants to have sex when they're bleeding perfusely?
