Unclear: It is unclear what you mean by taking "birth control pills twice after sex.” I think you mean that you are taking emergency contraception. If so then that explains the irregular bleeding. Have you considered taking a regular birth control pill daily to help regulate the cycles with PCOS? This is a common approach.
