A member asked:

Had mid-cycle spotting for 5 months, then 5 months without it. now i have it again. reg dr & obgyn said everything's ok. what causes this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can be normal: it can be very normal to have occasional mid cycle spotting or breakthrough bleeding could depend what type of birth control pill your on if any there's always a chance of some hormonal imbalance from time to time that could cause breakthrough spotting as well if it continues or gets heavier definitely follow up with OBGYN
