Q: spotting without missed pill

I've been on the same birth control for 7 months now. I've only actually missed one pill this whole time and that was in like..my second pack or way back there anyway. Sometimes, I don't take them at the exact same time. When I don't, I still manage to take them within a few hours of when I'm supposed to. Usually.

But A couple of days this week, I've been spotting and it seems like I have an abnormal amount of discharge (tmi, sry!). I have to keep running to the restroom because I can feel my underwear wet and it's VERY uncomfortable.

The spotting isn't constant. It happened a couple days ago just barely-like when i wiped. Then it happened again yesterday except it continued most of the day. It's weird. I never spotted before I went on bc and the absolutely only time I did afterwards was because I missed a pill. (and that spotting was constant for a few weeks).

So what do you think?

It's normal for me on the pill. Since I've been on it and have gotten used to it, I barely get any discharge what so ever and it smells the same as it usually does. I thought yeast infection at first, too. But after reading into that, I don't itch, don't hurt. It's most noticeable when my boyfriend and I fool around. Usually I have issues with wetness (sry!) but I don't now.

It's just weird. could it still be a yeast infection if it doesn't itch, hurt or smell weird?
