Kafer Girl, I had a fair bit of mid-cycle bleeding when I first started the pill as well. My OB chose this one (Dianne) as I had a bad history of bleeding during active pills every time we used the pill for down regulation as part of my IVF treatment. I would bleed constantly then. She did suggest that it may happen again as my body gets used to things after having given birth and then starting a new pill. She said I'd more than likely have to give it a few cycles to see if things settle but was pretty confident this pill would be fine. If it's any help, levlen was one of the ones we tried during IVF but was just as bad as brevinor and microgynon.

On another note... I had the vague thought that being on the pill would make the first AF after baby not quite so bad as the horror stories I'd heard. Nope. Not a chance. Stock up on the heavy-duty pads and tampons and keep lots of period pain tablets on hand!
