When you take the pill as directed, you don't ovulate. That the main mechanism by which they prevent pregnancy. When perfectly, which means every day at the same time, the pill is 99.7 to 99.9% effective, but taking it irratically as you are, your risk of pregnancy rises. When you miss two pills in a row, you are supposed to use back up (ie condoms) or abstain from sex until you have taken seven pills correctly (ie on time) in a row. You could get pregnant taking the pill as you are, which could possible account for the spotting (implantation bleeding), which generally occurs a week to ten days after fertilization, but it could also be from taking the pill as you are -- missing days, etc.
If taking the pill daily is really hard, and you just can't seem to remember each day, perhaps you should consider Nuva Ring or Ortho Evra. The Ring is put into the vagina and left in place for three weeks, at which point it is taken out to allow for a period. The patch is changed once weekly for three weeks, followed by a patch-free week to allow for a period. Other options to consider are the IUD and depo-provera, or the old stand-by combination of condoms and spermicide.
