Spotting : Spotting can be normal at any point while on birth control pills. It is usually due to an imbalance in hormones or missed pills or a change in time that the pill is taken. If the spotting persists you should be evaluated by your doctor to rule out a pregnancy and to consider a change in pills with a different hormonal make up. Take care.
