Yes, you should always continue to take your birth control unless your physician tells you to stop. Stopping your birth control and having unprotected sex will make you become pregnant. If you are experiencing any bleeding before the expected date or time of your period, you are most likely experiencing spotting or breakthrough bleeding. This is bleeding that is not considered a period, it is however a side effect from birth control that can last up to 3 months when you first begin birth control.
If you have already started spotting should you continue finishing your pack of birth control?
Yes you should continue your pack of pills even though you are spotting. You should never discontinue taking your birth control unless advised by your physician. If you stop taking your birth control you will lower the effectiveness of the birth control drastically and you will increase your chances of becoming pregnant. Spotting is a side effect caused by birth control.

Birth control or birth control needle What is better?
The birth control injection has the advantage of being harder to goof up, so it's far more reliable. The downside is there can be a long delay in return to fertility, so most health care providers don't recommend it for women who want to conceive in the next year. Breakthrough bleeding is common on Depo Provera, and some people have spotting that can last for months. There are things you can do to control the bleeding, but it drives some women nuts. If you don't like the shot, it will take a few months for it to get out of your system. The birth control pill is easier to goof up, but has the advantage of quicker return to fertility after you stop. Breakthrough bleeding is still a risk, but it doesn't normally last longer than the first three months. There are other considerations, but that's a short list. The shot is better for some people, and the pill for others.
