A member asked:
I am experiencing spotting at the same time of day recently. i'm on continuous seasonique. would it help to take the placebo for a week or switch bc?

No: The placebo won't do anything. Changing OCP might help, but a little spotting is ok. Make sure to get your annual Pap smear, though!!!

One year on BC. This month spotting started day 1 of new pack. No period but continued spotting. Very minimal but now on day 12 of light spotting. What would cause this and what do I do ? Have PCOS and always take the placebo week.
On new BC spotted the whole second month every day. Three pills left and then onto the placebo pill. How long will it take for my body to adjust to the pill. Will the spotting just stop after aperiod? Terrified its something more. Dr say unlikely
