Hello,
- It is common to have spotting after starting birth control pills.
- Additionally, if you are expecting your period in the next few days, it is likely that the contraceptive has not reached stable levels in your blood, that would cause your period to be delayed.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
