Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. If you have started oral contraceptive pills on the day 1-5 of your menstrual period, then you should continue taking them to have contraceptive effect. However, if you have started them randomly, then you should use other method of contraception like condoms. The spotting you are having is most likely due to irregular intake of pills. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health. Dr Deepti Verma
