What does it mean when you were on birthcontrol & stopped having a period & now youve started to spot.?

Bcp: The general idea is that birth control pill has estrogen and progesterone. The pills with the hormone prevent you uterus from bleeding. The last seven pills of a package are placebo (no hormones) causing withdraw bleeding due to lack of hormones in the pills. Talk to your doctor there are exceptions to the rule.

Spotting: Break through bleeding sometimes occurs. As long as you are taking your pills you're ok.
