What Causes Prolonged Spotting, Increase In Appetite And Headaches?

Hi, i am currently experiencing dark brown spotting with some pinkish red mostly only when i wipe, however i have had to use pads just to avoid any mess. Anyway, i am currently taking cryselle bcps for about 9 months now. Last month i skipped my placebo pills to avoid my period, which i have done before with no problems. This month, i was nearly at the end of my 2nd week of pills when i had intercourse. 4 days later the spotting started, which was about a week before my period should have started. I continued my pills and am now on the placebo pills. I am on the third pill of the week. I am still waiting for my period but am still experiencing the spotting which would be about 9 days now. I havent taken a test cause im convinced that it must be the pills but have experienced a slight increase in appetite and headaches. Whats going on with me?
