You can’t be sure if the birth control pills caused the spotting or something else. All birth control pills contain the same or similar hormones. Functional spotting could be a side effect from birth control pills or could also be caused by organic reasons such as infections or tumors. You SHOULD consult a gynecologist about this in order to exclude the possibility of a tumor or infection first, and to diagnose the break through bleeding.
