They aren't abortifacients. They just work by preventing potential conception or the implantation of a fertilized egg.

Regardless, regular use isn't recommended because they’re essentially a hormonal bomb.

Seriously, go pick up a basic reproductive health manual! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stop talking nonsense and actually read what you're typing............
They ARE contraception and they always will be.
Conception (or fertilization) happens when the sperm meets the egg, not at the point of implantation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

quietfox17, your answer is spot on.

Breakthrough bleeding is actually pretty common with low-dose pills, especially during those first few months of use.

Most of the time, you just have to hang in there and let things settle down.

But you missed one detail:

If that spotting keeps happening after six months, or if it suddenly starts up again after you've been on them for a while, it’s time to see a gynecologist for a proper checkup and a chat.

thanks,

Getting checked out at the six-month mark is standard procedure, so you're absolutely right there.

Olivia Sanchez7 said:New Logest pills with a really low hormone dose recently hit the market (according to my niece), and I’ve been on them for three months now. I switched from Trinovum, which I used for years, because I started having these light spotting issues between periods. But now, the same thing is happening with these new ones, and it’s starting to worry me—even though the packaging says it’s totally normal during the first few months.
I was wondering if anyone else is using these or knows more about them. I have a steady boyfriend, and honestly, it's pretty embarrassing when this happens...

If you want any actual, useful information, we need the full picture: your age, whether you've been pregnant before, and your general health status.
If you're fairly young (which I'm assuming), that tiny hormone dose might just be too low for you. These only have 20mcg of estrogen. You might want to try a slightly stronger version, maybe 30mcg or 35mcg, and that should do the trick.
Another option is to take a three-month pack without the placebo pills, effectively skipping your period entirely.
There’s always a workaround; you just have to find it.

Hope that clears things up for you.
