Forgot to take a Marvelon pill and experiencing spotting; for how long will this last?

Spotting, which is light bleeding between periods, can occur after missing a pill and usually lasts for a few days. It is recommended to continue taking your contraceptive pill as directed. If you have had unprotected sex within 5 days before or 7 days after missing a pill, you should consult a pharmacist.
