Question
Hi, i got on the pill when i was 14, i stopped taking in when i was 24 for 10 months then got back on for one month then unfortunately my rx ran out so had to wait til now to get back on the pill, i am on my 9th day or taking the pill. i am spotting regularly and it seems to be like shortly after i take the pill it starts spotting then fades til the next time i take it! is this normal? is it just because my body is getting used to being back on the pill and this is going to fade away! today it spotted really good and also when i went the bathroom.. thank you so much i hope everything is ok! hope to hear back soon

Answer
It probably is because of the pill delay. But I can't say for sure as I'm not a medical professional. I would advise you to check with your doctor or birth control provider.

I don't recommend any kind of hormonal birth control as I think there are risks and dangers to any kind of hormonal birth control. Please reconsider.
