I'm on the pop( progestogen-only pill) and i've been spotting. whats up?

Not uncommon: Progestin-only pill can cause breakthrough bleeding which is what you are experiencing. Sometimes, estrogen pills are added in order to stop this nuissance. However, you may be on the progestin-only pill because you cannot take estrogen.
