I started spotting 5 days before placebos and now i'm finishing my pack still spotting. 8 days of this, is this my period? should i be concerned?

Not concerning.: Spotting that is out of sync with your pillpack is a breakthrough bleeding. This is not a concerning or dangerous problem I can be very annoying. If the problem persists it can usually be treated very easily with a short course of low-dose estrogen. Hope this helps.
