Common problem: Irregular periods are one of the most common problems obgyns treat. If this is one time problem it usually resolves on its own. If this is a recurring problem you should be evaluated. Infections & hormonal changes can cause spotting. If there is a concern for pregnancy then do a home pregnancy test . There are many options available to help regulate the menstrual cycle. Schedule a visit.

Spotting on bcp: Hi ThaniaM, this could be because you are pregnant so I would wait a week and recheck and again a week after that. If preg test still negative you could either stay off bcp and re-start in 3 months or see OB GYN and get a stronger pill for 3 months and the drop dose to low dose. This should settle. If continues think about PAP smear and endomentrial biopsy thanks
