Spotting: Spotting occurs occasionally with birth control pills. Sometimes stress, an infection or intercourse can cause it. It may also occur if you take a pill late. If you are taking your pill the same time every day and you have spotting for several months, you may want to talk to your doctor about increasing the estrogen component of the pills.

Breakthrough bleed: Irregular or "breakthrough" bleeding is not uncommon on birth control pills . Keep taking your pill as prescribed. It usually goes away. If it continues or other symptoms occur such as odor or itching, see your doctor to rule out other problems such as an infection.
