Could taking the birth control pill cause light spotting between periods?

I finished my period last week and am on my second month of birth control pills. I am very regular with them and have not skipped any or taken them late.

Yesterday afternoon I began spotting a little, and it has continued off and on today. It is extremely light, but still enough so that I'm a bit worried. I feel fine and have no cramps or anything.

Could it be the pill that is making me bleed?

    Spotting usually happens during the first couple of months as an adaptation of your body to certain bc pills.
