Hi,
Anytime you have unprotected sex, you have an increased risk of pregnancy. If your regular period does not start when you expect it to (around the end of the month), you may want to take a home pregnancy test.
When you miss pills, then begin taking them again, it can cause "breakthrough bleeding" which can be spotting in between periods-- this is most likely what you are experiencing---and is not an indicator of pregnancy or not-being pregnant, unfortunately. Your body may have also started a menstrual period, since it has a sudden stop in hormones. This is not harmful to your system, but is unclear if you are pregnant or not. The only way to know if you are pregnant is to begin a period and/or take a home pregnancy test.
Hope this helps, and please let us know if your period starts, or if you take a test!
