Pregnant after switching pills?

Here are the details: I was previously on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, but having LOTS of mood swings, so my doctor prescribed Yasmin to help. While still on Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo, during the 3rd week of pills, I missed 2-3 pills (can't remember which). The pill package instructions advised me how to take them from there and then start a new pack on Sunday. My dh and I bd on 8/6 (the day we realized I missed the pills) and on 8/8 AF came, although I wasn't due to start until 8/12. It was a normal period. Then on that Sunday (8/10), I started the pack of Yasmin. On 8/20, I had spotting a couple of times for an afternoon, but figured it was breakthrough bleeding from my system being changed so much. Again on around 8/29 or so I had 1 episode of spotting. My dh and I have bd several times during the month, but I really don't know when since I wasn't trying to track it. This last Sunday (8/31) I started my 4th week of Yasmin pills and usually I would start my period on Tuesday of that week, which would be today (9/2). I've had very slight cramping off and on today, but only spotting along with it. I may end up waking up tomorrow with a full-blown AF, but the spotting makes me curious. Is this normal? I don't have other pregnancy symptoms, but then I didn't have them with my 3 other pregnancies either -- only implantation spotting. Anyone else experience this with switching pills?
Sorry this is so long! Thanks for any help.
