I've been on bcps for over a year with no breakthrough bleeding at all, but now I am spotting a little bit. I'm currently five days into my active pills and my period ended four/five days ago. I'm thinking it's just "leftovers" - old blood that's only now coming out. Does that sound likely? I was sexually active the day before the spotting started. I haven't missed any pills and was checked for STDs during my routine exam three months ago.

It could be just random, sometimes that happens even if you've been on the pill for a while.
