What can spotting result from when taking Orlifique contraceptive pills? I have been taking the tablets for a year, I take them regularly, placebo tablets only in a week. Could it be an infection? I have no other symptoms, no burning or itching. Please reply

Spotting is a common side effect of birth control pills, which is most often caused by, for example, stressful situations or a common cold. If you are examined regularly and all the results are in order, then if the spotting does not recur, there is no reason to worry. We wrote more about what can cause spotting when using contraceptives here: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/61277/orlifique-czy-jednorazowe-plamienie-po-roku-przyjmowania-orlifique-to-powod-do
I take orlifique and I also have spotting at 3 weeks before placebo, this is due to the low dose. As you will have so often then switch to microgynon 21.
