And the other three times we used protection(the week i finished my peez)... But a week afyer taking the pill i started spotting... It used to be very thick but now its light and almost resembles a period but in smaller amounts.... My next period is supposed to start in 4 days... What can the problem be?

Hello,
Slight spotting is quite common with hormonal pills. Nothing much to worry and it will settle by itself without any definite treatment. If symptoms persist better to consult a gynaecologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
