Anytime you miss pills, it can cause "breakthrough bleeding". Not anything to be concerned about, but it is just your body's reaction to "withdrawing" from the absence of the synthetic hormones. All the information about "withdrawal bleeding" or "breakthrough bleeding" applies to your situation; I believe this information is even included in your patient information pamphlet that comes with every new refill.
To avoid breakthrough bleeding, just take your pills as prescribed (although, some women may still have slight spotting in-between their "periods").
