Not uncommon ...: to have spotting near the end of the medicated pills when first going on a BCP. Usually, this is less a problem after several months when your body gets acclimated to the new ratio of estrogen/progesterone. If it continues to be a problem, speak with your doctor about trying a different brand. Some women do better with triphasic vs monophasic vs progestin only pills.
