Should I Be Concerned About Recurring Spotting In A Month After Periods?
I have been taking the birth control pill Alesse for almost 7 years now. I am on the 21 pack, and this month I got my regular period, and a few days later I started spotting. I have been spotting on and off for a month now. I have not forgotten any pills or changed anything. Why is this happening? I will stop taking pills in 5 days, and hopefully will get my regular period which usually lasts 5 days and then I am really hoping I will not have anymore spotting. Please advise!!

Hello,
Intermemstrual spotting can occur while on birth control pills. Continue the pills as scheduled and the spotting will eventually subside.
