I have been on the pill for about 4 years now. There have been a couple times where I broke the cycle and stopped taking it for a couple months during these 4 years, and this has happened again somewhat recently (I started taking it again after not taking it for a little over a month about 2 months ago). I used to not take it at the same time, but would remember to take it every day. There were times I forgot to take it for a day, sometimes 2, but would catch back up and had no problems with spotting. This has been over the course of 4 years. This past week, though, I was kind of spotting (it was a light red/pink color). Before that I thought I might of had a yeast infection, but it went away (went back to normal), but then this spotting started. For example, I was spotting off and on light red yesterday, but last night it had stopped. Today, everything was clear/normal until a couple hours ago I started spotting but it was red like a regular mensural cycle. I don't have any cramps though. I've never had this happen in the past 4 years I've been on birth control, so I was wondering what could cause this. The past two months I have been taking it at about the same time everyday, give or take maybe an hour sometimes.
