I am taking birth control and have been since i was 16. im now 25. i missed a pill and have been spotting for a week and a half. im not pregnant and take my pill at the same time everyday. what is causing me to continue to spot..?

If one is sexually active, irritation of the inflamed cervix can cause spotting. See your GYN physician for an exam, as cautery of the cervix may stop the inflammation and spotting.
