A member asked:
Is spotting while on the pill abnormal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not Necessarily: If it is just occasional like once a month it's normal. If it happens for days in a row month after month it's not normal and you may need a different strength birth control pill or checked out for thyroid or bleeding disorders. Good luck.
