After 8 years of taking the pill, I came off in November when my ex-husband left me.

Since then, I have only spotted once for one day.

I have now a new boyfriend and would like to go back on the pill - any advice?

Go to your GP
Depends on your age , the type of pill, your weight and if you smoke - best to see a professional.
how old are you if you don't mind me asking?
Could just be the stress of the break up etc, and adjustments. Do go and see your doctor. No chance you could be pregnant?......
Agree with all the above but it is usually pretty safe to go back on the Pill after taking a break - after all, lots of women do it after having a baby for instance.

You usually have to wait till the day you finish your period before you start taking it don't you? I can't remember what it says in the packet to be honest so don't take that as gospel.

Best advice though is to go and see the GP - they'll point you in the right direction.
Sorry just realised you said about the spotting - it may just be your body taking time to adjust but I would, as I say, see the GP.
