Spotting on BCP's ?: The most common reason for "spotting" on the current low dose oral bcp's is not taking the active pill within the hour of the previous day's active pill. The dose is so low, that even a few hours delay may cause withdrawal bleeding/spotting. If this continues, stop the pills, wait five days and start a new pack, keeping punctual in taking the active pills.
