Reddish brown spotting while on the pill is normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe: If you just started the pill, then some slight spotting or bleeding is normal. By the end of the third or fourth pack of pills you should be bleeding only at the end of the pack. If you are still having irregular spotting or bleeding by then you should see you doctor to find out what is wrong.
