Hello
If you are taking hormonal contraceptive pills then a gap of 7 days is given so that you can experience normal shedding of the decidua of your uterus. The day you miss the pill the process of destruction of decidua generally begins because the shedding is due to withdrawal of hormonal stimulation. As you described that you were on pill free week; then the process of shedding had been started a few days back and even if you look the pill after a gap during that week it might not revert the change which has already occurred and because of this you are experiencing the spotting and it should stop in 2-3 days.
Hope this answers your query.
Regards.
