A member asked:
Is it normal to suddenly spot after 2-3 cycles of no spotting while on coc pill? no other meds taken/no missed pills. very light spotting only.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
YES: This is not uncommon, often related to fluctuations in female hormones, causing mild breakthrough bleeding. If heavy bleeding occurs, please consult your prescribing physician.
