I have spotting before my period. Should I be concerned about the effectiveness of my pill?

. If you are experiencing spotting at the end of your cycle, I am not concerned about the effectiveness of your contraceptive pill. However, it may be inconvenient. Spotting at the end of the cycle could be a sign of a progestin deficiency, so your doctor may prescribe a different birth control pill with a different progestin composition, which could help improve the situation.
