Brief answer...is is absolutely normal Detailed answer... Hello, Thanks for the query. It is perfectly normal to have few spottings while you are on extended use of oral contraceptive pills like FEMILON. Such type of spottings gradually decrease in frequency and then stop. This doesn't reduce the efficacy of the contraceptive effect of the pill. I hope it helps however you may revert to me for any further query. Best of luck Thanks
