What Does Vaginal Spotting While On A Contraceptive Pill Indicate?

Hi I m 21 years old in a stable relationship and currently taking the pill. I missed one pill on the 8th which was 2 weeks after my period ended and I had sex (wasn t aware I missed it until the next day), and I missed another pill on the 16th and started spotting on the 17th for that day only.. it s been two days since and I am spotting again, but my period is due in 8 days. What does this mean?

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.
You missed two pills so the protection failed .
The spoting is due to hormone disbalance caused by missed pills.

Hope I have answered the question.
