No: You need to be examined by a physician within 2 months of developing bleeding that is unexplained by your hormone status. Certainly low dose birth control pills and shots, in combination with any other medications you are taking can cause spotting. Obesity is a health problem that has important consequences for your fertility and future, and it deserves equal attention when you see your doctor.

Abnormal bleeding: Irregular spotting is never normal. Try and get a checkup sooner. Obesity can increase the chance or hormone imbalance and other problems, like cysts and polyps and precancerous changes in the uterus.

Obesity, bleeding: Obesity can be associated with pcos and non-ovulatory dysfunctional bleeding. Should be checked for Insulin insensitivity which would benefit from metformin therapy. Clearly losing weight would be beneficial.
