I missed one pill and started spotting but not due for a period. i take pills so i have a period every 3 mons. what do i do; how long does spotting?

Don't miss pills: Even taking a pill late can cause bleeding. Taking the pills 3 months at a time makes them even less forgiving when you miss a pill.
