Breakthrough 2 wks in july. 6 days in aug (missed a few pills on the week). over 3 wks in sep. what's happening now?

Due to missing pills: when you miss birth control pills, the hormonal levels are not consistent with frequent ups and downs, which leads to irregular bleeding and unpredictable patterns. May want to use your pills regularly. If the problem still persists please see a gynecologist. Based on your sexual activity,if necessary, please do a pregnancy test.
