Dear Anon, you may not be pregnant. You should be taking your birth control pills regularly even if your husband is away. You are confusing your body when you abruptly stop after two weeks, it [your body] thinks that it is placebo week, so it gets out of whack and that's what may be causing the spotting (the fact that you are not supposed to have a period every 2 weeks). So your body is wondering "where are my pills this week?" Remember that when you are on birth control, the last week of pills are placebo pills and this is the week you should be getting your period or preparing to get your period.
Unfortunately, you are not allowing your body to return to normalcy because you don't have a consistent pill regime.
If this spotting persists once you have established a regular pill routine, then consider visiting your health care provider, who may issue a blood test to determine whether it is that you are pregnant.
