Spotting on Birth Control: What to Know & When to Worry

Question
I am almost 2 and half weeks into my birth control pills, on friday i stayed up late and completly forgot to take my pill so I took it at 3 in the morning on Saturday. I then kept taking my regular pills at the normal time each day, and I am getting spotting. Its not that heavy but today is wednesday and I've had spotting since sunday. I have been using tampons and I'm not supposed to get my period for another week or so. Is this normal? What do I do? And will it go away/or stay til I get my period in a week?

Answer
Jamie,

I'm so sorry about the delay in getting to your question. What ended up happening in your situation? Did you have any more spotting or did you get your normal period? Let me know. You can email me privately at CHERYL51@aol.com

Hope to hear from you soon.
