I experience spotting before my periods. Should I be concerned about the effectiveness of my pill?

"Spotting before menstruation while on the pill is usually not a cause for concern regarding its effectiveness. However, if it becomes frequent and bothersome, it could be a sign of a progestin deficiency. In that case, your doctor may recommend switching to a different pill with a slightly different progestin composition to help improve the situation."
