A member asked:
Just started the pill, is it normal for spotting to be enough to fill a light tampon? i am at the tail end of my period, but it's been 6 days.

Can happen: If the spotting is mild, preferable to just monitor, hopefully problem should resolve in 3-6 months or so. Keep your GYN informed
