Started birth control may 25 spotted for 2 weeks went away. now bleeding occasionally throughout day 3 pills left. should i start new pack?

Take as directed: It is very common to have irregular bleeding as your body adjusts to birth control. Take the pills exactly as prescribed, start new pack when you are supposed to. I would give it at least 3 months before talking to the doctor about making any changes.
