Most of the time, spotting occurs because the levels of hormones in birth control pills are not high enough to prevent occasional bleeding. The body may require more estrogen, which thickens the uterine lining and may reduce the likelihood of bleeding and spotting. Antibiotics do not interfere with ther OCP. Check for pregnancy and it it continues go to your Gyn for an endometrial biopsy.
