Mid-cycle bleeding

I started taking the pill in November (Apri) and acclimated very easily (probably due in part to the fact that I rarely had issues to begin with). Then in April I accidentally missed a pill. I immediately took in the next day along with my regular pill. Yet, I had what amounted to a full-blown period just a few days later (I was on my second week of the pack). I then had my normal pill period during the fourth week, albeit a bit lighter.
This past week, I flew to the West Coast and tried very hard to be within the right time frame to take the pill. I was under a tremendous amount of stress and almost a month to the day, started spotting and have been (sometimes very heavy) since this past Friday (almost 5 days).
My question? Should I call my doctor? Should I chalk it all up to the time-change and stress?
Thanks.

If missing one pill causes you to have breakthrough bleeding, I could see spotting happen if you were just shaky with the time.
