Help! Confused, upset!

I have been taking Yasmin for about a year and a half. I haven't been sexually active since July but I am still taking my pill daily. Lately I have been lax about taking it at the same exact time each day (but I am usually within an hour or two). Today I forgot to take it before I left the house (very unlike me as I have taken it like clockwork since I started - to the point of setting my alarm on the weekends so I can take it at my normal weekday/workday time). I went to the bathroom before to urinate and I noticed some pink on the paper. Could I possibly be spotting from having forgotten to take my pill today. I am a Sunday starter and I am almost at the end of my second week (this coming Sunday will be the beginning of week #3).

Please help as I am nervous.

Thanks, ladies.

hey scared, it's normal to spot if you've been forgetting to take yer pill, or taking it at different times. i'm on orthotricyclen, and the same thing happens to me if i forget a pill, or forget to take it at the same time each day. hope this helps!
