Hi,

I'm new on here so hoping it's okay to post a question so soon after introducing myself? I haven't been on may forums so really not sure of the etiquette. Apologies if this isn't right

I've been on Levlen for about 6 years without too much trouble when in September this year I got spotting between my period that lasted until the next one. I had the smear test as well as other tests for infection and they all came back clear. The doctor knew about the spotting so let's just say, did a very thorough check. I should probably say I get VERY stressed out about going to the doctors and we had just bought a new house, work was stressful etc, so the spotting appeared just after I worked up the guts to book the smear appointment.

I had a very grumpy doctor who wouldn't listen to anything I said and said I had to go for an ultrasound. I swore it was hormone / stress related so went off the pill instead. The spotting stopped which was great and in that time we decided to try for a baby which we both really want.

Felt completely normal and great for the first month, but the second time (last week) my period didn't turn up properly - was spotty, appeared and disappeared etc. It wasn't as full on as it usually is but now it's been over a week and I still have some brown spotting (sorry, TMI).

I'm freaking out this is connected to the spotting last time and deciding whether to go to a different doctor, but not sure if this is happening because I'm stressed at work again and also because my hormones are changing coming off the pill.

Any suggestions /feedback would be so very much appreciated as I don't know what to do. I've wanted to have kids for a long time and now we've agreed it's the right time, things don't seem to be going right!

Thanks
