I often bleed under Lolo. Is this normal?

Question

Hello, I started taking Lolo (annovulant) 5 weeks ago. Before, I was taking micronor because I was trying to breastfeed (which did not work). On the other hand, since I take it, I have irregular bleeding. Example, on my first pack, second week, spotting all week. I stopped for 2-4 days (of spotting) and it started again in the third week but this time it was normal menstrual bleeding.... Week 4 of the first package, stopped bleeding for 2 days then bleeding again the last 2 days of the package (inactive pill). I start my new package... 7 days without bleeding and then tonight light bleeding but a little more than just spotting ..... Is this normal? Should I "skip" the last week of my pack to have 7 full days with the inactive pills instead of 2 (because with lolo only 2 inactive pills per pack)? Is it because I did not have a return of the diaper? Thank you for enlightening me We will cross our fingers so that it stabilizes quickly. Let's say that it starts to be unpleasant.... Especially since it comes with my usual period pains (stomach/back pain, hot flashes.... and unpleasant mood). Thank you for your answer

Hello, following a change of birth control pills, there may be a period of adaptation necessary to regulate the menstrual cycle, which can last up to 3 complete cycles. The postpartum period can also cause hormonal changes that disrupt the menstrual cycle. At this time, it may be normal to have some bleeding during the active pill period. You can continue to take only the two inactive pills without extending the inactive period. If after the third case you still have bleeding, you should consult your doctor who will probably change your contraceptive pill. Lolo is an anovulant with a low concentration of estrogens. The bleeding period, once stabilized, should be between 2 and 4 days per cycle.
