How would you diagnose light bright red spotting between your December and January periods?
Some women may experience light spotting and dull cramps during ovulation, 14-16 days before your next period. This is perfectly normal.

Why would you spot between periods?
It is related to hormonal fluctuations- progesterone and estrogen changes. It could be many different causes however. It could possibly be early stages of menopause, but it could also be related to pregnancy, new birth control, medications, increase in stress/sleep disturbance, and more. It would be best to ask your doctor if you are experiencing sudden spotting between periods to look into the cause. Also, just to explore all possibilities if you are sexually active, take a pregnancy test to rule that out first (or the doctor's office will likely check for you when you go in).

If you have already started spotting should you continue finishing your pack of birth control?
Yes you should continue your pack of pills even though you are spotting. You should never discontinue taking your birth control unless advised by your physician. If you stop taking your birth control you will lower the effectiveness of the birth control drastically and you will increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Spotting is a side effect caused by birth control. Spotting typically occurs when you are either starting birth control for the first time( spotting may last up to 3 months), spotting can occur if you do not take your birth control everyday at the same time, and it can occur if you use a certain medication, such as antibiotics.
What could be a reason why I've been spotting for two weeks and have been having irregular periods 3 months now and I'm on birth control?
Since birth control has hormones in them and if you quit it can take a few months for your periods to settle down. Spotting is very common. However, it's always a good idea to see your doctor and have him/her explain everything to you.
