Started Birth Control Pill After Period, Spotting Started, Lasted For A Week, Feeling Lightheaded, Tired. Hormonal Changes?
I just started taking birth control again after being off of it for 3 months, I took it the first sunday after the first day of my period and a day after my period ended I started spotting again which has lasted a week now. I also am very tired, lightheaded and ill feeling lately. Is this just due to hormonal changes? Will the spotting stop?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The mild spotting, tiredness, weakness, nausea, etc are the normal, common and well tolerated side effects of the oral pills. These side effects are likely to subside gradually in next two weeks.
