Can I get spotting from starting my new pack earlier? I have skipped the 7 days before and I never get any symptom and spotting. But this time I decided to move my days a bit for a holiday. I started my new pack in day 3 of the free pill week (since I always get it on the 4th and I wanted to avoid it). And I just noticed a very light spotting and I’m feeling a bit bloated. Can’t tell if it’s my IBS acting up or my body reacting to an almost period. I’m sure it’s normal I just have never done it this way.

Spotting and irregular bleeding are always a possible side effect.

^ shortening break weeks is not guaranteed to change your bleeding and other side effects in the way you want it to.
