this is normal, right?

I take Ortho TriCyclen Lo but I missed two pills in the second week of this month's pack. I caught up on the pills I missed and now I'm spotting/bleeding. It was kinda of heavy so I'm wondering if missing those two pills caused my period to start.
What do you think?

Hi savining, welcome!

Ok...I'm back. So even though we both knew better, even stopped at the drugstore for condoms, we made a bad decision and had unprotected sex while my BCPs weren't as effective. I know pregnancy is possible but how likely is it? I've basically been on my period for the past 4 days...could I really have ovulated?
Normally I wouldn't freak out about getting pregnant because we're getting married and hoping to have kids right away but we just hit the 9 month mark to our wedding so timing wouldn't be the greatest. I'm hoping for a little reassurance....
If you hadn't taken 7 active pills in a row since you missed the two then you may still be at some additional risk.
