What Causes Intermenstrual Vaginal Spotting While On Birth Control Pills?

I m on birth control pills. My last period was the first week of November 2016. Since then I have skipped the pill that gives me my period. But I found I ve been spotting for seven days during the middle of my cycle (without taking the sugar pills). What it be bad to skip the pills that give you your period again this month?

Hi, when you take the active pills continuously, there is a side select called breakthrough bleeding. That's what is happening with you. I think you should not skip the sugar pills this month.
