Breakthrough?: Spotting right before a period is usually Progesterone breakthrough; mid-cycle spotting is often estrogen breakthrough. Neither one is abnormal or worrisome.

If you miss period: If you had sex since your last period and miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully. If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD.
