Hello, I have been taking the same birth control pill for almost two years. It is Linessa 21 days (it is very similar to Alesse). I have never had spotting with this pill until the day before yesterday. What could be the cause of this sudden spotting and what should I do? Thank you

Thank you for your question. If the spotting is not too bothersome, you can continue taking Linessa as usual. If the spotting comes back every month or becomes heavy, you could go see your pharmacist or make an appointment with your doctor to see if there is another cause for the spotting other than the contraceptive.
