A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not unusual: The first few months after starting there can be spotting for some time. If you are on the BCP, and it should regulate by 3 months,if you don't skip any. If not, check with your doctor who might Rx a different med. The progestin only BC like Depo can also cause spotting for a while.
