Ive been on a combination birth control pill for 5 years. i missed one pill and ive been spotting for about a week since. should i stop taking active pills so i can have my period, or keep taking the pills?

Keep taking your pills as directed, and be sure to use a backup contraceptive method for the rest of the month, until after your withdrawal bleed during the placeholder pills.
