I ve been on birth control for about 4 months 28 pack for each month. I skipped my inactive pills from last month to skip my period and it worked. But now I ve been having spotting for the last 2 mornings then it will stop. I m not sure what to do. I also had sex last night.

Hi, I think it is a side effect of using the pills continuously. You can take some medicines like Tranexamic acid to stop the spotting. Other cause can be infections. So, get yourself evaluated by a gynecologist to rule out any infection. Hope I have answered your question.
