Been on same bc pill for 5 years, just finished first row of pills and am experiencing spotting/light brown/light flow with slight cramping. what could this be?

Break through: bleeding can occur, and still NOT increase the risk of pregnancy. If this bleeding is recurring monthly, your doctor can recommend treatments to slightly increase the uterine lining thickness, to control the breakthrough bleeding
