Messed Up Pills, Now I'm Spotting

So... I was going on a cruise and according to my birth control, I was going to be on my period, so, I purposely took the placebos before the cruise in order to get my period, then while on the cruise I would be on the pill. While on the cruise I had intercourse, and now (4 weeks later) I am spotting brown very sporadically. Is this normal because I messed up my pills? Since my last period it has been 5 weeks, so I'm guessing its normal, but I'm still kind of freaking out.

Hello, Sabrina! How are you? Sorry about the problem that you're having.

Yes, that can happen if you try to adjust your cycle, because it upsets the hormonal balance in your body.

You should consult your doctor to be sure there is nothing else going on, but most likely it's just due to your making the change and will probably resolve with your next cycle.

Is there anything else I can help with?
