Spotting is very common when taking bcp. Also refered to as breakthrough bleeding. But you could be pregnant..Maybe it's implantation bleeding. If you don't get a normal period you should take a preg test.

You may be pregnant I was spotting also but at first I started bleeding then I started spotting and after a few days it stopped and I took a test and I found out I was pregnant?

I guess I started my period a week early from stress cause of my ex adn stuff because I cant be pregnant I havent had sex in like a month an a half but thanks for the replies...Is it ok to start your period a week early while on the pill or should I be worried and talk to my doctor?

i am having this very same problem!! i am also on ortho-tricyclin lo and am spotting a week before im supposed to start my period. i have no reason to believe i am pregnant, i havent missed a pill, and havent had sex in over three weeks, and i used condoms anyway. ive been under a lot of stress the past three weeks, so i thought that would be the cause of my problem. my question is, is my birth control not as effective now that i am bleeding at the wrong time? does this mean that i am on the wrong hormone level or something?
