I started taking Amethyst (generic Lyrbel) exactly 5 weeks ago. I had no side effects until 1 week ago when I began spotting. It was very light at first, then I started getting mild cramps & the bleeding became a little heavier. It's enough that I have to wear a panty liner at all times.Also, I've noticed that the cramping begins and ends around the same time each day. I'm just wondering if this is normal and when it will go away.
