Period and spotting

2018-01-03 06:06:28
Hi! I have been on birth control (sprintec) for 3 months. I have been taking it perfectly since my first day. My first period was like usual and my second was a bit lighter and both times started on the first day of my sugar pill. This month I started spotting 2 days before my sugar pill and I am still spotting on my 3rd day of my sugar pill. What could this mean?

Initial few periods may be unusual with contraceptive pills. It will become more regular with each passing month. Wait for another 3-4 days to see how your periods are. If only spotting, Consult your gynaecologist to see if you need any tests
