If spotting occurs for two weeks should I stop taking the birth control or will the spotting stop?
When you start birth control it is not unlikely to have spotting
or breakthrough bleeding. This is a side effect that can last up to
3 months or longer. You should not stop taking your birth control
because you will actually mess up your cycle and when you will have
your period. You will also experience more spotting or breakthrough
bleeding if you stop now. The spotting will go away,however, you
should visit your physician to consider changing the dosage of
birth control. Spotting and breakthrough bleeding usually stops
when switched to a higher dosage of birth control.
