A member asked:
Can you let me know how many days after missing a pill would you experience spotting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to say: If only one pill was missed, then doubled up the next day, some women may not even have any spotting, but if they did - i would expect it to occur within a few days of the missed pill.
