Hello,
thanks for using health care magic
Spotting and or Per vaginal bleeding is common side effect of birth control pills in certain people and it does not translate an abnormality in your menses.
You need to revisit your doctor who will consider whether to modify the dosage or change the pill type.
Best regards
