Hello
Thanks for your query.
It could very well be abnormal spotting due to the birth control pill.
During the initial few months of birth control, this is normal.
Also, it could be an early pregnancy as birth control is not properly reliable in the initial month or two, particularly if not used consistently.
take a pregnancy test to be sure.
do not skip any pill.
Take care.
