u/Deep_Maintenance_958

hi i’ve been on Reta for about 3 weeks! i’ve also been on an oral birth control pill for about six months. I know that with slower stomach emptying it can make pills less effective, & have been experiencing very light breakthrough spotting that has persisted for about two weeks. i’m on the pill for a few reasons- of course to prevent pregnancy, (also using a backup method since starting reta) but it also helps my hormonal acne & PMDD.
i’m making this post to hopefully find any success stories of other women who have had luck with maintaining on the pill while also being on reta? & how long did it take your cycle to level out?
