New and Confused

Kati
Hi, so I have a question that may be dumb. I started the pill this month and I'm down to the final week. Yesterday I had some spotting, but not a lot. I put on a panty liner for the night and woke up with dried blood. This app said I was having spotting because I started a method of birth control. However, today I'm still having "spotting" and I have cramps. I'm confused is its still "spotting" or if it's my actual period. Help!!!
