Can taking a extra birth control pill stop spotting on the pill or would it mess up the rest of my cycle? or would stopping it for 4 days then start a new pack work better? i already had my period and it just ended?

: No it will not. It is not good to mess with prescribed medicine. Best is to ask your MD/Gyn
