Your hormones are in: .. flux for some reason, so hang on for the ride. Irregular periods and spotting could mean you may have some hormonal imbalance that could be affected by many different factors. However you need to stick with the birth control pills for at least 2-3 months to allow that pill to help regulate your cycle. Changing pills too quickly will not give enough time for your body to adjust.
