Hi,
Prenatal vitamin pills usually won't affect menstrual cycle.
After stopping the birth control pills it will take some time for regularization of hormonal levels.
The possible causes for spotting are:
-Hormonal imbalance leading to menstrual irregularity.
-Sometimes in early pregnancy spotting can be seen.
-Local causes like cervical erosion, polyps etc.
So, once consult gynecologist, get examined and go for ultrasound.
If she recommends go for investigations like thyroid profile, hormonal profile including estrogen, progesterone, LH, FSH etc.
Possibly with this workup the cause for your problem can be identified and treated.
Take care.
