Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mild spotting that you had now might be due to a mild left over blood from your previous cycle or a hormonal imbalance. You need to wait for a day or two and see if the bleeding increases. In case it does then resume taking the pill regularly.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
