Brown spotting on combined pill

So I've got 2 days left of my pill packet. I typically skip the 7 pill-less days and go straight onto my next one. I haven't missed a single pill this month, although last weekend I did forget to take my pill until the evening, when I usually take it in the morning.

Today I've had some brown/orangish spotting which seems to have subsided now. I've had some light period pains to accompany this. I have been having regular sex throughout the month, we don't use condoms or pull out as the pill has always worked for us.

I'm not sure if this would've affected anything, but I started antibiotics last Friday (since finished) that made me throw up the first day I took them. They've been messing with my stomach a bit, but I haven't had any diarrhoea. Not sure if this would've impacted the pill at all tbh.

Anyway, should I be worried about this? I'm trying to convince myself it'll be fine, but brown spotting is a sign of early pregnancy.

Unless you've had positive pregnancy test and/or period is overdue, I wouldn't worry just yet.
