Hi Angela,

Sounds to me like you MAY have a lack of estrogen. I would go to your doctor with these symptoms and discuss them with him or her.

There are tons of different kind of birth control pills to try, so you might consider those for the spotting.

http://www.yasmin.com

http://www.ortho-tri-cyclen.com

Those are some birth control sites that may help you out.

Take care,
