Probably: Missing (or even being a bit late for) a birth control pill can definitely cause irregular spotting/bleeding. We can't be sure how long it will last, but it should clear up after your next placebo week (when you get your next full period). If you are worried at all about pregnancy, you can take an over the counter test. It would be accurate by now if your last intercourse was a month ago.
