Question:

If a woman is due her period and she takes a pill however she doesn't start properly but she is spotting here and there.  Is that classed as haidh still cos it's happening in the time of her haidh?

Answer:

In The Name Of Allah, The Most-Merciful, The Most Kind

It is not a requirement of Haidh that the bleeding is continuous. Intermittent bleeding will still be considered to be Haidh as long as the bleeding/spotting happens over 3 to 10 days. Any bleeding lasting for less than three days will be Istihadhah (non-menstrual bleeding). Any bleeding over and above ten days will be regarded as Istihadhah. Also, the bleeding/spotting should be preceded by fifteen complete days which were regarded as tuhr (a state free of Haidh).[1]

 

Only Allah Ta'ala knows best.
