Can Birth Control Pills Cause Spotting Between Periods ?
I have been experiencing brown spotting between my periods. What could be the cause? should I ask for my birth control pills to be changed?

Hello
Welcome to healthcare magic
Spotting may occur as a side effect of birth contol pills .If its negligible and there is no other side effect then you may continue it.But if you are uncomfortable, then go for barrier contraception rather than hormonal methods.
Thanks
