Irregular cycle while on the pill...?

Question

This is my second month on the pill. Last month, I had my period right when I was supposed to, at the end of the month. But today, I started spotting. And it's a brownish-red color. Is this normal?

I heard that it takes a few months for the pill to really regulate your cycle.

Answer 1

Brownish means old blood not fresh, so i wouldnt be too worried about that if it is just spotting. It takes a few months for the pill to work effectivly as it takes time to build up in your system. After a few months if you are still irregular then your doctor just needs to change the doseage. it is nothing major and I wouldnt be worried right now.
