Spotting while on pill

Hi guys

I was recently diagnosed 3 months ago with endo after having had painful periods for about 10 years. Until my follow up consultation which is later on this month my gp advised me to continue with taking the pill for 3 months at a time without a break. I am about half way through a pack of pill and for the last 5 days I have been spotting, I have had the odd very mild cramp but nothing too bad. Just wondering of this is normal as it's not a symptom I've ever experienced before and I thought it would only last a day or 2?!!

Thanks in advance

Rebecca :)
