The spotting is normal I actually had it for my first two packs. I found that it's important for me to take the active (white) pills on time everyday to avoid breakthrough bleeding. I remember by setting my cell phone alarm everyday for the time i take my pill. As far as the placebo pills it's not neccessary to take them at the same time everyday as it will have no real affect but it's better that you do so you don't get used to forgetting.
I'm in the same boat as you. I take mine every night at 8:00. I forget all the time, but I usually remember before falling asleep that I need to take it. I don't believe this has much effect but it's a good habit to get into. What I do to remember is I set a reminder on my phone that is set to go off at 8 and I take it. But don't get into the habit of shutting off the reminder without taking it because you will forget again. Try that and setting another reminder for like thirty minutes after the set time so you can't forget.
Good luck!! =]]
