Probably it's just a little "freak-out" of your system because of the imbalance of hormones. If you're relatively new to birth control, this is pretty normal. If the bleeding and spotting lasts more than a couple days, or is accompanied by pain (other than cramping) you may want to see your nurse or doc about it. Keep taking your pills as usual and try not to forget again!
