Is spotting a side effect of the pill ortho tri cyclen (ethinyl estradiol and norgestimate) lo? i didn't see it when i researched it.

Initially: Many women will have some spotting initially after starting the pill. For most women that lasts only a few weeks, then they only bleed when they are supposed to at the end of the pack of pills.
