I had occasional spotting during my first 5 months on the pill, by month 6 seemed gone. if it comes back, how much/frequent spotting is worrisome?

May need pill change: the pill should regulate your periods so you don't have breakthrough bleeding. If you take the pill on time everyday, you shouldn't have spotting. If this continues. You should be examined and make sure you don't have an infection or may need to change pills. There are so many pills to chose from, you can find one that works well for you
