Hi lycheefan,
Because of the drop in hormone levels during the placebo week, it is common for people to experience a withdrawal bleed - this could explain the cramping and spotting! (Of course, if the cramping becomes very severe, it would be a good idea to contact your doctor)

Yep, that can also be normal! The size of the clots matters more than the frequency/amount, so if they're small to medium clots that shouldn't be concerning.
