OBGYN,  's  Response
it is not uncommon to have some spotting when you first start using birth control pills, and it may even continue for a few months. however, you can expect it to stop and your periods should be regular after a few months. if it continues despite using the pills every day, ask you doctor if he/she can switch you to another pill and to check to make sure there is no other reason for the spotting such as some kind of infection or polyp. however, that is rare, and I don't think you need to worry at this point. I hope this is helpful, please let me know if you have any more questions.
