Why did I start spotting on birth control?

I had my period 2 weeks ago and accidentally skipped the pill two days in a row last week (on thursday and friday)

I began spotting on saturday and still am today.

I am continuing taking my birth control as I am not at my placebo week yet, but when will the spotting stop? I JUST had my period. It is super frustrating because I am going camping in 2 days. Why would I have gotten it again?

    the pill did it sence you forgot to take it. the pill regulates your period and its probly from when you were off it its difrent cuz of that mistake when the pill kicks back in it should stop

    Because you skipped two pills your hormones were probably thrown off. If you start taking your pills the same time after you miss those pills then that should go away No longer then a week

    It was because you forgot to take your medicine. Just take your medicine regularly and everything should be fine. Spotting is normal, also.
