General & Family Physician 's  Response
Sometimes the uterus keep shedding its mucosa in minute quantities with some of the hormonal medications like the one you are taking. So there will appearance of red or brown spots. It takes a little time to stop these from happening and will occur when your hormone levels normalises to optimum levels.
So don't be worried. Once your cycles regularise, these things also disappear.
