Forgot To Take Pill For Two Days. Having Spotting Before Due Date. Symptom Of Pregnancy?

My lmp started on Jan. 24th & ended Jan. 28th...I m on the pill (specifically Mononessa) & forgot to take it on the 6th & 7th (my 1st couple days at a new job & I was just dumb and got to busy). Now, on the 10th I had a bit of spotting...and that has now turned into period like bright red bleeding with small clots (penny sized or smaller). I m not due for my period until the 21st. Is this normal breakthrough bleeding? Is this my normal period? I ve taken my pill on time every day since the 7th & the bleeding hasn t lightened at all yet. Could this bleeding be symptom of pregnancy? Or something else? I m just at a loss with this issue. I ve never experienced this problem before.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
Since you forgot to take pills for two consecutive days, there is every chance of having a withdrawal bleeding or a hormonal disturbance causing an irregular spotting like you are having.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
