What Causes Vaginal Spotting While On Birth Control Pills?
Okay my question is, if I stop taking the birth control pills all together, then would spotting stop? It's like constantly being on my period. I just started taking them, and honestly I don't take them responsibly. I take them at random times in the day, I've missed two days, then I took the pills at once. And now I'm spotting and its been 5 days or so. I'm heavily annoyed!

Hi I think you will get your periods in few days after stopping the pills and then you will have regular periods if you don't use them. Taking oral contraceptive pill in irregular manner doesn't serve any purpose of contraception and also leads to irregular bleeding. So, better to try some alternative like condom or injection or IUCD. Talk to your doctor regarding this. Hope it helps.
