"I have spotting and bleeding even though I am taking hormonal contraception?"

Spotting and bleeding while taking hormonal contraception can be caused by hormonal changes such as starting or stopping the contraception, or missing a pill. These symptoms can last for a few days to a few weeks, and rarely, for a few months. As long as you see some improvement every 2-3 days, there is usually no need to worry. If the bleeding persists for more than 2 weeks, it is recommended to consult a doctor for a more thorough evaluation.
