Spotting on birth control, should i stop and let myself have a period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Continue with your pill until you reach the end of the pack as it is not uncommon for there to be breakthrough bleeding on the pill and if you stop now you may increase your risk for pregnancy if you are sexually active.. Most continuous use of the pill causes the spotting to stop after a couple of packs. If not, see your gyn md for instructions as menopause is near for your age group.
