If you've stopped taking BC pills then yes. If you haven't stopped BC pills then this isn't normal and you should see your DR as you may need your doseage changed.

Why are you getting spotting from skipping your green birth control pills?

In some birth control brands, the green pills are active pills and should not be skipped. In other brands, the green pills are placebos (sugar pills or reminder pills) and can be skipped. Talk to your pharmacist or health care provider to get information specific to your brand of birth control pills.
