Brief Answer:

Yes.

Detailed Answer:

Hello.

Thanks for writing again.

The spotting is just the beginning of periods. You should have started Meprate earlier.

Now increasing the dose will help in stopping the spotting and then you will have periods after stopping the medicine.

Hope my answer is helpful. Let me know if I can assist you further.
