Typically : Typically it takes 3 cycles (packs) for your body to adjust to the hormones. However in your case since you have more than just spotting, then you may need a pill that contains more estrogen. Talk to your doctor, explain the situation, and request a change in pillls. This should help. Best of luck.

Menstrual : Menstrual irregularities are among the most common side effects of birth control pills. Women who take oral contraceptives frequently complain of spotting, breakthrough bleeding, early periods, late periods, or skipped periods. Most of the time these side effects occur during the first few cycles you're on the pill. When they begin after you've been taking it for a while, it could mean your pill is supplying too much (or too little) estrogen at certain times of your cycle. A change in formulation usually addresses this issue. (after all, if one formulation worked for all women, there would only be one brand of pills on the market.) call your doctor about your bleeding. He/she may want to prescribe a different pill. I hope things settle down soon!
