The bleeding that you are experiencing is
not normal. You should bleed after taking
the last active pill of a pack or while
taking the last 7 (inactive) pills. This
spotting can be caused by an organic
reason (infection, tumor) so I recommend
you visit your gynecologist for a vaginal
examination and Pap-smear.
