Abnormal period, breathrough bleeding while on birth control

LMll - December 31

I'm 37 years old, and have been on the same birth control pill for over 10 years. Over the last year I've noticed a bit of spotting mid cycle, about every 3rd or 4th period. This month, I missed one pill during the end of my first week of pills, and had spotting, followed by heavy bleeding about 5 days after the missed pill. The bleeding lasted about 3 days, with a lot of clotting, but very little cramping. Since then I've had daily spotting. I skipped the week of sugar pills on my pharmacists advice, and started a fresh pack, but there has been no change in the spotting. I have a doctor's appointment in a couple week's time, but I'm very concerned about this bleeding, as this has never happened before.

I've since switch birth control pills, so far so good. Skipping my week of sugar pills was an ill advised idea.
