Spotting???

Sabrina

So I'm not new to taking the pill as I've been on it for a few years and have normally been really diligent with taking it. Same time every day. This pack I've kind of fucked up with. I've missed two pills in the pack. One on the second week, one last week (the third week). I'm now on the fourth week of pills which has three active pills and four placebo. Today (day two of week four) I started spotting. Is that normal? Even having missed two pills on separate weeks? My boyfriend is in the military and comes back next month, midpack, and I'm wondering if since this month has been a rocky month, should I really focus next month on getting it back on track and play it safe by using condoms when he returns? I've gone condom-less with this birth control multiple times but now I'm paranoid. Especially since I'm spotting. I know I should always use a condom if I feel paranoid but does anyone have any advice? I'm taking yaz, btw.
