feeling annoyed about my period,need advice

Ok so all my life Ive been irregular and so I finally got on birth control to regulate it. My doctor switched my birth control depending on the pharmacy I use. My periods are always 4 days nothing more. Long story short my last period was nothing but cramps and very light spotting, I'm not ever heavy but it raised questions Bc that was the lightest period I've had in a while. This month I accidentally skipped a few pills so the week my period was supposed to start it didn't start till later on in the week.  However I was headed on vacation for a week so I didn't want to be on my period dealing with that while on vacation. So I took my normal pills hoping it would cut it short and now as of today it's been on for about a week, just spotting nothing serious but I'm tired of dealing with it. Does anyone know what I could do to "turn it off" ? I'm taking everything normally as I should've done in the beginning but I'm still light spotting. Does anyone have any tips or advice?
