Thank you for sharing your question with the EmpowHER community.
Missing 1 birth control pill anytime during the month and engaging in sex can and will certainly increase your risk for pregnancy, so missing 3 increases it even more. To what extent your risk is I can't say.
Either take a home pregnancy test or have one administered by a medical professional. If the test is positve, stop taking the pill.
As for the spotting, anytime you miss a pill, that is a normal symptom that occurs.
