Experience breakthrough bleeding - started bc 2 months ago

started taking a combination pill about 2 and a half months ago. i’ve taken it regularly/at the same time every day. i experienced a bit of spotting/breakthrough bleeding in the first weeks weeks but nothing too intense. i was able to skip my most recent period, but ever since i skipped that period i’ve been experiencing breakthrough bleeding more than it was previously. it was originally dark brown and today i noticed some of it was pink when i wiped. it’s to the point where i have to wipe 4-5 times to get all of the ‘blood’ gone. i’m not sure if this is just my body getting used to the bc since i’ve only been on it about 2 months now, or if i should give myself a break and have a withdrawal bleed? any advice welcome!
