Why did you stop taking your birth control pills? Are you trying to conceive?
Birth control pills prevent pregnancy by preventing ovulation. A daily dose of an active pill, taken at the same time each day, achieves this goal. The spotting was probably triggered by stopping the active pills.
It would be too early for any signs of pregnancy, two to three days following unprotected intercourse. I would suggest you not restart taking your pills. Call your doctor.
