    Yes, you need to stay on the pill. The pill will cause your hormones to fluctuate and also your periods to be irregular. It will take some time for your cycles to become regular while on the pill. Just give it more time and keep taking it.

      Spotting

      Hello,
      I too have been spotting whilst taking the pill. I am 23 and have been on the pill for about seven years to help with long heavy periods. I changed pills about a year ago to Alleysse. Before if i have taken the pill late i will start spotting a couple of days before my period is due. This month however i was late taking my fist pill. I started Spotting a week ago and i do not finish my pack until this friday. If it doesn't stop it will mean i will have been spotting for almost 2 weeks. I am not experiencing any pain and the spotting is very, very light however it is abit worrying because i have never had it for this long. Please advise!!
