No: When did you miss pill close to cycle than you may spot.

Unlikely,but..: Missed pills and abnormal bleeding may put you at risk for pregnancy- rule it out with a doctor visit or home pregnancy test. Likely this represents abnormal bleeding from missing your pill. Cervical infections such as chlamydia can also cause bleeding.
