Hello,
Slight spotting can be seen with hormonal pills including ipill. It is due to the hormonal actions and will settle by itself. No definite treatment is required. If bleeding persist better to consult a gynecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
