If you are on birth control and uou spot before your period what does it mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It may be normal: It is not uncommon to spot a little before the period with the newer low dose birth control pills. If you just started the pills give it a few more months, if you have been on them for a while and spotting for a while you may need to change them.
