Anytime you skip your birth control pills, you are decreasing your protection from pregnancy. Anytime you have unprotected intercourse, there is the risk of pregnancy. You are spotting/bleeding because your body is adjusting to not having the hormones (from the pills) in your system.

Restart your birth control pills as soon as possible. Pick up where you left off in your pill pack. Begin a new pill pack as scheduled. In the meantime, do not have unprotected intercourse until you have completed the current pill pack and have taken at least 7 days of the new pill pack. Either abstain from intercourse or use condoms to prevent pregnancy.

You will most likely continue to experience some spotting/bleeding until you are back on a regular schedule of taking the pill everyday. Your period may be a little earlier or later or longer than usual; this is normal. Your periods should return to a regular schedule within the next month or two.
