Question about Birth Control Pill?

I'm on the third white active pill (I've been on the pill for almost 2 years) and today I noticed in my underwear some brownish-yellow stain. I can't tell if this is from staining from before I last washed it or if this is spotting.

I haven't missed any pills (the only thing I could think that may have affected it was that an hour after my first pill I coughed a lot but I didn't throw up...).

Am I just overreacting? I'm just concerned because I haven't used a condom but I didn't think it was a problem since I didn't miss pills...

Also, how long and when does one spot with a missed pill? If I see that I don't spot for the rest of the month, does this mean I was just overreacting about this?
