Breakthrough bleeding after 2 years

So, I have been on Yasmin 28 birth control for a couple of years now. Never had problem with breakthrough bleeding. Today I wake up and find blood stains in my panties. Just to make sure it was coming from the vagina, I placed a tampon in there, so it's definitely not coming from anywhere else. The blood does not have a smell and it is red, not brown. I take my pills on time, sometimes I forget, but I take it within an hour. However, I have noticed with my last few periods that my symptoms started coming back (mood swings, headaches, nausea, cramps, fatigue, the whole works). I'm not sexually active and I haven't been in a year. I was taking a homeopathic remedy called oscillococcinum, a flu remedy, that was the only medicine besides peppermint oil I took this week. The only thing that concerns me is that I stopped my actual period a week ago. I've never been irregular. I was thinking about making my appointment with my ob/gyn sooner and hope that they can get me in. So what are your thoughts? Is this just breakthrough bleeding? Or could it be something else? The only other symptoms I'm having are slight cramping and gastrointestinal problems (but that's normal for my periods). Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much for your time.
