I've had reoccurring yeast infections for months

Now i'm actually healing and getting better but i seem to be sort of bleeding

I'm also on birth control and havent been keeping up with my pills very well
Could this cause the bleeding?

Should I be worried?

yes

some times even if your a few hours late you can start Spotting. This is happening to me. But What I want to know is can you get pregnant while spotting?

If you're not keeping up with your pills then you should use a back up method when you have sex.

No, spotting doesn't necessarily mean you are no longer protected from pregnancy.

But if you're not taking your pills correctly, than your protection is compromised, and you should be using some other method if you don't want to get pregnant.
