Is it possible to get spotting while talking birth control pill?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Breakthrough bleed: Sometimes with low-dose birth control, the lining of the uterus may become unstable and it sheds a little. This is called breakthrough bleeding. It does NOT effect the birth control aspect. If it keeps happening, you Maury need to try a different pill.

Yes: This is very common. You should see your GYN however if breakthrough bleeding continues
