If you're having sex, whether taking pills or not, but especially if you are not taking them as prescribed, there is a risk of becoming pregnant. It's common sense. Spotting or no has nothing to do with it either.
Wait until after about 2-3 weeks since you would have possibly become pregnant and take a test. Or see a doctor for a blood test.

not taking the pill or messing up on any birth control pills can cause spotting. so that is totally normal.
It is also not absolutely certain that you will spot by messing up. so the only real way to tell if you are pregnant is to take a test. I would recommend not taking anymore birth control until you know for sure that you are not, but give your doc call to see what he/she thinks about that one.
Take a test now. Then again in a week or two if it's negative.
Messing up the pill as much as you have can certainly result in pregnancy.

Absolutely! I would take a home pregnancy test because if you are pregnant, you will need to stop taking this pill completely. You need to take this pill everyday like the doctor prescribed for you to do. After you find out if you are pregnant or not I think you should consider another form of birth control since you cannot remember to take the pill on a regular basis.

If you want to prevent pregnancy you are going to have to take your pills every day or you are at risk of getting pregnant. Make up a specific time to take the pill. You could put the pack in the bathroom next to your toothbrush. Take it each morning before you brush your teeth. You can set a daily alarm on your cell phone to go off each day to remind you to take it.
Your best bet is to go to the doctor within the next 2 weeks for a blood test, it is the most accurate.

I'm not familiar with seasonique, but I dont think it would hurt to take a text in the next week or so. You dont want to be taking BC if you are pregnant, it will cause problems with the growth of the fetus.

If you're worried you might be pregnant then take a pregnancy test, and if you are then stop taking the pills immediately!
