A member asked:
I've just recently started taking the pill and am experiencing spotting. is there any way at all to stop this or am i to expect it for a few months?

Not uncommon: Its not uncommon to have some spotting the first few months of taking the pill. These symptoms usually resolve in a few months. Its usually not recommended that you switch pills until you have been on one for several months. Best wishes!
