Missed 2 periods on Yasmin- NOT pregnant

Okay, I am on Yasmin and have been for 5 years. I am sexually active but have not been in a sexual relationship since November. I know I am not pregnant because of the length of time since my last sexual activity and the fact that I am obsessive about taking my pill at the same time every day and I also use a condom EVERY TIME. In addition I had a pelvic exam and ultra sound 2 weeks ago to keep an eye on my fibroid so if I was 4 months pregnant I am pretty sure it would have shown! (LOL!) I missed my period completely last month (and I have skipped a month here and there in the past on this pill) but I didn't worry about it too much. My periods on Yasmin are almost non-existent usually anyway (with the occassional exception). This month I got my "symptoms" of my period (FYI, THIS IS MY PLACEBO WEEK) such as being super tired and cranky and I had some minor cramps BUT I didn't get a period. I got a little bit of light pink spotting on my toilet paper (sorry for the graphic description!) and when I even put a tampon in to see if it would come out clean (again, sorry for TMI but I'm trying to get all the facts out) it came out pink tinted but not anything crazy.

Should I be concerned about this? Has anyone else missed more than one period on their BCP's?

Thanks for your help, ladies!
