Missed 3 birth control pills in a row, got heavy period now spotting for the past 2 weeks, is this normal?

No: This is a direct result of not following the instructions of how to take the pill. Not only to are taking a chance of getting pregnant, abut also, "messing up" your hormones. You should consider using a barrier method.
