Can taking a 14-day break from birth control pills cause spotting?
Hello, I used contraception regularly but I made a mistake recently and instead of taking a 7-day break I did 14 days and after 14 days I took the first pill and I use it for 2 weeks but I start spotting or is it caused by this 14-day break in between?

Yes, the tablets should be taken according to the scheme of 1 tablet per day at a fixed time of day for 21 days + 7 days break.

Yes, spotting can be caused by incorrect use of tablets. If a 14-day break is taken, the effectiveness of contraception may be impaired and additional contraceptive methods, such as condoms, should be used until the end of the current blister.
