It can be normal to skip your menstrual cycle, since it is a hormonal contraceptive.
However, have you missed any pills and had unprotected sex? If so, you may be pregnant and should have a test done.

i sometimes get cramping and some spotting when on this pill and i skip periods often. i find that it happens more when i don't take the pill at a regular time everyday. if i'm dead on with the time I take it - i rarely find any problems
oh! and i also found this quote on the mayo clinic site about skipping periods when on birth control - I'm sure it's true of the bloating as well - "Breakthrough bleeding — bleeding or spotting between periods — is common when you use birth control pills to delay or prevent periods, especially during the first few months. Breakthrough bleeding typically decreases over time, however, as your body adjusts to the new regimen."
