Is it normal to spott for a few days while you are on birth control? I just started a new kind and i've been spotting for a few days now. Also I have been taking some cold medicine that I bought at the drug store...
Can anyone help?

I'm pretty sure it is different for everyone.. But maybe a few days. If you are still concerned you should call your doc!

Sometimes spotting can last a few days to two weeks. But I would wait a few more days and then go to the doctor if you are still worried about it.
