spotting (please respond)

I've been spotting every morning for a week now. It seems like it starts when i pee in the morning and goes away in the evening... the cramps feel like period cramps. 
I did miss a pill but I took 2 pills the next day. I am supposed to start my placebo pill this Sunday, so I should be getting my period next week.
Is this my period or is it a spotting and why u guys think am spotting?
