Do Birth Control Pills Cause Spotting?

Hi, I have been on the Birth Control pill for 3 months now and have recently had really bad spotting...its been happening for about 2 weeks now. I am 18, I am 59kg and have no serious medical conditions or allergies. I was wondering if it's still safe for me to be having intercourse and how this bleeding happened and weather it will stop.

Spotting while on birth control pills is a normal side effect of the pills. It may become alright after 3-6 months of taking the pills. Hence there is no need for concern. You can continue the pills. However if you develop severe bleeding you have to consult a gynaecologist.
