I have been doing a little research about hormones in the past week. I know the spotting that we are experiencing on the UB pill is NOT due to low hormones, the hormones from the BCP and UB should not be cancelling each other out (as someone suggested to me once). If anything, the heightened hormone level is having some effect on either the cervix or the uterine lining, causing the spotting. I'm not sure what that effect is, but at least for me the spotting stops as soon as I stop the UB pills.
I'm going to try taking only two UB pills per day as long as I am on the Birth control pill and see if this lessens the spotting. I also think long as the body can adjust to the higher hormone level, maybe the spotting would stop?
