Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since you had your last three periods well on time, the lighter bleeding could be due to a hormonal imbalance or due to the effect of the pills you are taking. Pregnancy is not a possibility with regular periods. Please do not worry.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. You can consult me again directly through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Rakhi-Tayal

Hello,
thanks for your query.
Since you are on birth control pills, probability of pregnancy is very minimum.
Spotting per vagina while on OC pills is called breakthrough bleeding. I is due to hormonal imbalance.
You need not stop taking OC pill. I recommend you to continue taking pills. It will normalize in a couple of months. If the symptom persists for more than 3 months, you need to use OC pills with higher estrogen levels.
So do not worry. You can as well get a UPT done to be more sure of not being pregnant.
Hope this helps.

Dr Nilofer
