Your GYN: is best resource to help you do this. If you have extra pills from your present BC pack(s) a day or so of an EXTRA pill will probably stop your spotting...then continue to the end of the present cycle....you will have a period ....5 days restart with YOUR NEW Birth control pill (probably with a bit more ESTROGEN) Many GYN feel you should complete one cycle using additional method of contraceptio
