What are some of the reasons why women spot while on birthcontrol?was on bc for 3years, very light spotting and light clot.any advice?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple: One can spot because of irregularly taking the pills, polyps, hormonal aberration that needs to be corrected or because the endometrium is very thin. You should have it evaluated, though, as in a small # of cases it can be the beginning of something serious developing in the endometrium.
