What can i do for spotting on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Spotting or irregular bleeding is common in the first 3 months of any new pill. Missed pills also cause bleeding, so be sure you're not missing, but spotting/ bleeding can have other causes: pregnancy, fibroids, stds, a polyp. Bc other than pills may have spotting (the shot, implant, or progestin iud). See your dr to be sure.

Does doubling up on birth control actually help stop spotting or will it make it worse? If it will help should I take 2 pills at once or spread it out
