Hello,

I can understand your concern. Vaginal spotting after you miss the pill is normal. Do not worry about it. Do not miss any other pill and complete the course of all medicines that are left. Sometimes body takes its time to synchronize with the missed pill and spotting up to 2-3 weeks is reported.

The best way to avoid this is to take all the pills regularly and try not to miss any one of them.

I hope this information helps. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let us know if you have any further queries.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
