Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. A daily dose keeps hormone levels constant. Missed doses drop levels and can trigger ovulation. Breakthrough spotting was triggered by two missed doses.
Continue taking your pills as you have been. Wait and see if you have bleeding during your week of placebo pills. If not, please contact your gynecologist.
